HOPE - Healing by Val Pedrick

rain

like broken strings of pearls

strafes

winter windows

 

gulls arc tearful skies

cry

 

in a quiet house

Mother rests

daughter looks out

 

outside

a piece of rainbow jewel

pins hope to the horizon

 

doves sooth

croocoocoo, croocoocoo, croocoocoo, coo!

from sunset -gilded roof

 

inside

laughter catches

Well, I have to say that this is my favourite poem of yours, Val. The language is great -- and some onomatopoeia too!

You should have been a poet.

A lovely read.
