Now Broken

by

Now - a dreaming Broken man or woman clutching to-
broken hopes-
broken dreams-
broken promises-
of broken golden seams.
 
Now-
with those Broken lines-
upon those broken faces-
once so very smooth and fine-
once upon that lovely time.
 
Now-
like cried up-
fed up, all done and said,
prune like a dried up-
encrusted, broken diverted, twisted, river bed.
 
Now-
with a Broken heart-
a broken mind-
so unkind-
to dear mankind.
 
Now-
Stricken Broken-
enforced  silence-
no words spoken-
never can be awoken...
 
 

Now... From this never ending, ceasing Nightmarish...but now Broken Dream.

◄ Poets Corner at Glassfire in Hoylake - Tuesday 15th Nov - Guest Poet is the wonderful 'Elaine Booth' plus music from Gerald (Gerry) Williams ' the Yoda of The Ukulele' plus the bass tones of Dave Gilbey plus lots more!

Thanks Harry...Yes Life is all about having a 'dream or perhaps two or more' and to keep hoping they come true!

Good to see you posting Graham.

Like the play on `broken` and the final despair of `awoken`

Hi Graham. Nice to see you posting - and an unusually serious one for you.

I imgine this would perform well but I think you could still work on it to get a better rythm in some of the verses. Also if it was mine, I would chop the mankind/kind verse.
