Shards: NaPoWriMo 2022, Day 9 Redux

8 Replies

Okay, I got it wrong the first time by counting words instead of syllables. Here is a Nonet, done correctly:

Shards

Plates crash—mneumonic contradictions
of last year’s “I plight thee my troth.”
Pushed to the brink, you speak back
in your own special Braille.
Shattered wedding cups—
your broken heart—
shards of my
broken
vows.

About lifelessons

My blog, which started out to be about overcoming grief, quickly grew into a blog about celebrating life. I post daily: poems, photographs, essays or stories. I've lived in countries all around the globe but have finally come to rest in Mexico, where I've lived since 2001. My books may be found on Amazon in Kindle and print format, my art in local Ajijic galleries. Hope to see you at my blog.

    Pieces went flying
    Been there done that
    Left them lay
    Next time
    Great
    My second time now 49 years and counting. First crashed after 13 years.
    Nice write Judy, really good, and much used, metaphoric themes.
