WITHERING

Wrote this following a prompt… That every line should begin with W… For a contest

Withering

 

What caused withering?

When did it begin?

While searching for the reason

Weathered memories blast upon me

Warmth of love you poured in.

Whistle in my ears in contempt

Weeping in the darkness..

Wearing this invisible mourning dress

Why does my heart dream of a resurrection?

nicely constructed ..didn't feel forced ..well done

[Coyote Poetry]

A lot of reason to get withered. Just must reason to stay strong. I like the feel and emotion of this poem. A invisible mourning dress? I like the last line. A very good poem. You made me think this morning.

No one ought to get withered..you described the feeling well..

[Dream Weaver]

This was pretty sly, lot's of innuendos...
or at least some daring undertones...
I like it..

[David W Moore III]

weathered memories... yes. And the invisible mourning dress, a part of our masks, in this case you are talking about what is under the mask. And I think we all dream of a heart reurection, even if it is not truly killed, but only wounded. Nicely written.
