Hollow Tainted Morn
Here in these hollow hours before morn
In vain I scream out your dear name
But there is no answer for you’ve gone
I’m left alone with this grief all the same
In vain I scream out your dear name
While I ponder how your life went awry
I’m left alone with this grief all the same
Do you hear on the wind my stricken cries?
While I ponder how your life went awry
Thinking what else I may have tried or done
Do you hear on the wind my stricken cries
Before the golden sun heralds in a new dawn?
Thinking what else I may have tried or done
But today there is no answer for you’re still gone
Before the golden sun heralds in a new dawn
I cry in hollow hours before a tainted morn

So full of grief. Lynda is this a villanelle? I am not sure of these rhyming repeating forms but this is wonderful and powerful.

It’s a Pantoum Toni. One of my favorite forms to write.

A pantoum, my favourite form! A moving expression of grief….we do always ponder what we might have done differently. But we always did the best we could.
