Poetry is something that I enjoy writing, so I decided to link up to Wordle 367 which includes the following words this time: remember, peace, whistle, chill, live, beside, trunk, gather, touch, fly, grief, sting. This challenge is found at The Sunday Whirl hosted by Brenda Warren. A poem or short prose is acceptable. Forms of the words are okay to use. We are challenged to use all 12 of the words, but it is not a requirement.
The Chill of Winter
by Patricia E Brockett
the chill of winter
with whistling wind at death's door
gathers those who grieve
touched by mementos
in a trunk flown from afar
beside the deceased
remembrances live
removing the sting of death
peaceful hearts remain
Wonderful, Pat! I like, 'removing the sting of death.'
