Echoes Of A Heart
I am participating in the National Poetry Writing Month on Substack. You can find the poems for April 8 to 14 if you click on the link below.
Day 10
Prompt by: Writer pilgrim Substack: NaPoWriMo 2026
Prompt: Write a meditation on grief. Three short stanzas, the second of which is entirely made up of a rhetorical dialogue.
Darkness rides on taut fishing lines
Heartbeats heavy, mired in grief
Painful, sorrowful, lacking understanding
Anger grows with no relief
Why are there echos unbidden in my ears?
Why are there echoes as I wander through forests dark?
Why are there echoes breaking wave upon wave?
Wishing they never had to start
Dreams alone are not suffice
Blackened conversations muted, desultory
My heart yearns for a different outcome
Not wishing to live in this allegory
