fresh hope with chances still unknown

    1. The verse is my creation and the song was my idea but the mention of Adelaide Crapsey was included in our prompt for this new challenge. I was not familiar with her before learning about the cinquain; tragic is an appropriate word. I’m pleased to know you enjoyed my post, Clive. Thank you!

      1. I’ve posted a couple of times with poetry for November, my least favourite month. She wrote a very poignant poem about it, when she already knew she was dying. A brave woman.

        1. I don’t recall reading your posts about Adelaide.

          So much loss, sadness and illness in her young life. She had many privileges in life but was unable to see them through; who knows what more of an impact she would have made had she lived. Thanks again, Clive.

            1. It’s incredible when I think of all the different posts we read every day; after a while, they all start to become a big blur! That was just a few months ago and I commented on it but just now it felt like I was reading it for the first time. Excellent write with lovely poetry.
