Welcome to Poetrylovers

Hello, and welcome to the first post in my blog.

I will be updating this blog from time to time with my news, information about competitions and events, and samples of my poetry.

Just to get started, here is one of my poems.

Daughter
The moss of years intrudes our flesh.
Our hearts continue to pulse their pain.
Though day brings pieces of time to forget,
night hovers with weeds of despair again.

Why did she die? What fate moved in
to sever the bonds of her earthly life -
who never unwrapped the covers of sin,
who welcomed and warmed with her thought, her smile.

In sleep our minds' dark barriers crack.
Tears spring to wash the other's face.
Locked in loss, bewildered by fact
we try to be wise, keep holy our space.
