The Letter {A Terzanelle}

She felt forlorn and neglected

She was like a pressed flower in the book of life

An avalanche of grief had her life devastated.



With husband deceased, she was fighting for life

She waited in earnest for her son to come

She was like a pressed flower in the book of life.



Only thoughts of her son filled her with happiness some

On receiving a letter she felt like without aegis

She waited in earnest for her son to come



The letter by her son read like this

"I am happily settled and will not return."

On receiving a letter she felt like without aegis.



Flames of sorrow made her inside burn

The words of the letter began echoing

"I am happily settled and will not return".



Tears down her cheeks began falling

She felt forlorn and neglected

The words of the letter began echoing

An avalanche of grief had her life devastated.
