Zoe Life Poet Rhyme

Weeping Widow

She waits by the river
Watching her withering shadow
Mourning pearls low
Dusting the ashes slowly
Deep within so lonely
Slaughtered body of her mate send shiver.

She quietly screams through her white veil
Stained in widowed red
Weeping willows dread
She prayed for grace
River took her in loving embrace
Her loud screams, echoes trails.

Passerby abhor
Some say we warned 
Many scorned
She painted her nude body with his ash
Ran along the banks in a dash
Her white veil waived a roar.

Verlena S. Walker September 22, 2014 at 9:48 PM Zoe, what a familiarity. Superlatively written to the theme. However, it is super-awesome to know our minds can channels the same but our ideology is quite different in meaning. Congratulations on this well written piece and your high marks in the contest.
