Notes About The Poem

Micro Poem Poetry Contest

Sponsored by: Ink Empress 

--------------------------------------------------

Wistful

Wistful, 
       wondering why.
                 Weeping. 
She cried alone, 
      as she sat 
             on rugged rock,
                 ruing she ever loved.

Broken hearts are worse than broken bones often. Love is a gamble...and the heart our greatest fortune to lose.
