So, for today’s Poetics challenge, I would like you to write about grief (in general or personal). If that is something you don’t want to share, you can write about healing, dealing with loss or the general state of our world that brings grief to you. If you are new to dVerse, please write a poem of any form, any length on your blog.
Link back your post to this post.
Also make sure to leave a link of your post at Mr.Linky below.
The link will be open till 2.00 pm,1st August.

July 31, a sad day for me
Forty-eight years ago, I see with grief
A long time, you think, but I’ll never forget
The mother I knew but realize we never really met
Leaving home early, and I was happy to go
But I was young and what did I know
I miss her still today.

Poetics: Picking up the Pieces
The Bag Lady 
That wrench is a deep wound, one that never fills as I have discovered. If only we knew how long.

Oh dear! I am so sorry, Cheryl. Losing a parent is so heartbreaking. And doubly so at a young age.

I wasn’t young, really. I was thirty.
