Only the sea could match the anger Only wind could howl with more clangor Here no one listens and there’s no one to call An unheard scream goes where dead words fall In the furor of crashing waves drowning the agony of woes The significance of their pain wasted on those no one knows Flowers waving in sympathy as they slip to a watery grave Where lost souls are bound and not one person can save Christine Bolton - Poetry for Healing © In response to Sue Vincent's Weekly Write/Photo

Trapped in a prison of memory Alone with a heart destroyed Watching hopes and dreams go around and round like a circle in a spiral spinning downwards out of control Impossible to save them No desire to try anymore Accepting of the cruel fate that robbed me of you Leaving me with thoughts of what might have been Christine Bolton - Poetry for Healing © Grace is hosting Open Link Night at D’Verse Poets tonight Bush Boy is hosting today's RDP prompt “Like a circle in a spiral”

Good morning! I hope you are all doing well and staying safe. It is Wednesday and time for Linda G. Hill’s One Liner Wednesday. I hope this one will bring a smile to your face. I am always amazed that that people can learn English as a second language. It must be so difficult with all those rules!
Have a great day!

Senryu A moment to pause Remembering the journey and how far you’ve come Christine Bolton - Poetry for Healing ©
Yes, Mondrian’s Broadway Boogie Woogie reminds me of Manhattan in the city that never sleeps, New York. The perfect grid system of streets running north to south and east to west. How could you ever get lost?
Its inhabitants focused on where they are going with a purpose in their stride. No time for the niceties. Be direct and be frank or you’ll be eaten alive as if in a Pac Man game, which I think the art also resembles!
Fire hydrant bursting It’s summer in the city Relief from the heat Christine Bolton - Poetry for Healing © Kim from Writing in North Norfolk is hosting Haibun Monday at D'Verse Poets.
