At Life's Windowsill   Lightly floating, layered thoughts Wane as darkness flashes by; Branches speak sad, wet farewells Mixed with stirring, whispered sighs. Shiver not, for what remains Is a woman washed of pain Who has learned the lessons taught Through life’s changing windowpane. By Sharon Miller Bolander    © 2009 Peggy Paris (All rights reserved)

Oh that was so beautiful. Wish I had written this one too.

Amazing job! I am thoroughly impressed that you were able to come up with such a remarkable poem (that actually rhymes!) while staying within the constraints of this contest. Very, very well done.
