8 Tears #poetry

silent steps

down a lonely lane

one tear fell

cannot tell from where

noisy clash

life’s busy intersection

two tears fell

my hand was there

a night of questions

mist obscured vision

three tears fell

my heart laid bare

surrounded by children

orange terra village

two large tears fell

swirling in hot air

Thank you for visiting Moondustwriter. One of the many exciting things I've had the honor of doing is writing and publishing in multiple genres (including education) in E. African for E. Africa. As a writer, it is a thrill to write for children (on all continents) who want to learn. I've been part of the blogging community for more than 13 years. Some old timers may remember the award winning (2011 Twitter Shorty ) blog community - One Stop Poetry. I was the co-producer of that fast growing blog community. I am a published writer, poet, artist and photographer. I have written, as well as edited, for periodicals, radio, blogs and fellow writers. There are many facets to this moon - my joy is in meeting you! View all posts by moondustwriter

You always write meaningful poetry, Leslie. I like the focus on tears and metaphorical meaning behind it. You can see and feel tears fall but sometimes it can be hard to explain why they are falling. Wishing you a wonderful end of the year, and a wonderful year ahead.
