Notes About The Poem

For contest sponsored by Joseph May

Too soon An Angel

"The stars beckoned her song to reach the crescent moon"

The song is sacred her heart broken black and doomed

You see the sun set upon her head making mockery

For her newborn was stillborn oh the hypocrisy 

Her song was supposed to reach God and bless hearts

Instead it was one of agony and silver suffering sobs

The light of the crescent moon came through the room

As if death is beautiful weaving tears in a loon 

As if her baby is an angel too soon

While certainly heart-rending, you somehow made this into an inspirational write, Karen. Magical on your part, Gershon
