Challenge
100 words
Write a poem of exactly 100 words. No more, no less. All topics welcome. Have fun. Have heart. Have at it!
Moving on.
My heart sings songs that no one
could write.
You nor her could understand
the honeysuckle sweetness
of what my heart cries for.
My heart is fragile,
full of laughter and expectations.
Under Autumn leaves she no
longer sings for you,
but for I instead.
The grief my heart endures has
become tameable.
I am nothing but tainted leftovers.
You made my heart stronger.
Not for you but, for the next, new season
of my fluent, quiet life.
I am no longer taciturn.
My heart cries honey and shouts
fields of jasmines.
But, not for you but for I instead.
