He fights the wind with hands in pockets;
the color of the leaves reminds him
how her hair dappled yellow,
brown, and red in the sun.
Rain against his cheeks
mingles with tears.
His heart bleeds,
feeling
raw.
Thanks so much. As you know, I work from prompts for these PAD challenges and today’s was write a “raw” poem. Coupled with the fact that I was browsing different forms the other day and thought I’d try a Nonet again, this is what came up. I like that I was able to think of something besides raw meat too. 🙂
Beautiful, romantic…sad. Love it. The sadness in a moment like this comes from the beauty of a deep love. Well captured.
