"Mary Had A Little Lamb..."

a different "LOOK" and way... separate, parallel, AND across... so many ways for tears to fall.

"Mary had a little Lamb..."

...an 'uncle' had shepard's pie for dinner...
he ate seconds.

Anger                                 ...and tears
and hurt -                           leak
flow without thought          from eyes
as memories...                    just because
when its all you have          its all you have
                         sometimes.

Chris

Mind blowing and brilliant, I love the parallel of this poem...and never have I ever read or seen one of its kind. Its as unique and wonderful as you are.

Muse YOu are genius with the metaphors and the creative word play. Tears are random, they flow with or without structure. I love the nursery rhyme, memories are scattered and provoked just like crying.

Loved the structure of this one.
It is so true, so many ways tears can fall.

Very clever and wonderfully written Chris

[Judas Hammer]

style brave, I like this. I opens the mind and makes you see the same piece from different angels. Like the real world. I'm impressed...

Yes, memories are all we have...some precious, some painful, but all
can leave tears...

[Shane Blackheart]

This is very touching. Emotional and very well written. It's very interesting, too, the way you have it written. This is a poem that could be read in a few different ways. Great job.
