Excellent Free Verse for the Contest 2023 Gypsy's Free Verse : Your Body Next to Mine by Gypsy Blue Rose Free Verse Poetry Contest contest entry For Nigel

My hand tests the water of the zigzagging river that carries away my melancholic mood and summons me to the deepest end     The wind sighs and whispers your name along with dried drifting leaves carrying my destined to fail hope to find you     I taste bitter-sweet cranberries and I'm tempted to try the deadly brown recluse all reminiscent of your love     The purple dusk is beautiful and a last futile try to cheer me up before the impending sunset says goodbye     The mums smell like death as I lie on the cold ground yearning for the feeling of your warm body next to mine     Author Notes The brown recluse is a poisonous spider Mums = chrysanthemum flowers Chrysanthemums = are used at funerals in Spain, where I was born, I still can smell the mums at my mother's funeral Thank you for taking the time to read my poem.
