Exceptional A contest entry The Dress by Jessica Wheeler Sad Poems writing prompt entry Artwork by Maureen Woychyshyn at FanArtReview.com

Taunted by the memory, a reverie replays. We wandered through a weekend, spent in dress shops. She, my honored maid, a vision in chiffon, her gown of candy apple red to wear beside my white. And I, the blinded blushing bride, basked inside the brevity of a Saturday's sobriety. Yet watching shadows waited just over the Sunday Horizon. And Wednesday's fading will was gone come Thursday morning. Goodbye was in her sunless eyes as she tumbled, a swift and final fall into addiction's open arms. Vows hush behind the echo of a eulogy, a trail of tears follow her casket down the aisle where she rests in the dress she'll never wear. Writing Prompt Sadness has overcome us all at one time or another. Either caused by a relative or close friend's death or from the girl or guy that broke our heart or just life in general. We all handle situations differently, some good, some bad. This contest gives us the ability to explore this. Your poem can also play into other emotions that are common to writing like this such as anger or depression. Recognized
