A Time to Grieve
Faded letters and diamond ring -
he'd found them in the hay that spring,
returning from a midnight ride.
A glitter in the moonlight, spied
despite exhaustion and sad frown,
for he'd just put his stallion down -
leg broken from a fall on rocks
when frightened by a wayward fox
as he turned on a country road -
and wisdom shot through tears that flowed.
He’d hold forever dear his gaze,'
his fearless dashes, stubborn ways.
A day replete with misery,
he had no time for mystery
or thoughts of rings and letters penned.
Tonight he'd mourn his faithful friend.
Check out the second and
third place finishers Clearly for fun, we had some very
nice entries and we had a great time just reading them.
If yours wasn't chosen as a winner - check to see you
used all the words correctly. Also make sure you
didn't go over the 100 word maximum. We'll have another contest in
June
..... watch for it!
