Wept

she roams cross the land her heart so bitter blue leaving behind frosty morning dew icy veil sadly unkept laden woe upswept she speechless wept left dreamless numb regret windswept no kind soul to intercept cold bemoaning howling winds a clue she roams cross the land her heart so bitter blue AP: 2nd place 2020 Submitted on January 22, 2023 for contest WRITING CHALLENGE - ANDAREE sponsored by CONSTANCE LA FRANCE - RANKED 3rd and July 7, 2019 for contest VERSE A FAVOURED THEME sponsored by BRIAN STRAND - RANKED 1ST Originally posted on May 1, 2018

You perfectly paint a picture of a cold and lonely woman! I can see her walking across windswept, barren landscapes. Well done, Line!

Interesting structure Line for this teary rhyme. Howling winds certainly are a clue. Congrats on your well deserved award. Ambitious verse skillfully penned.
