So beautiful but so real and sad. Exceptional writing as usual, and you share emotion, with the black rain symbolizing, because when we're hurting and missing someone, now I see everything through that pain. Very real and meaningful. For varied reasons, many people will relate to the feelings that you express so well, here. Your image captures true feelings as well.
Best wishes to you!

A sad poem indeed. Those broken promises and the bleak outlook of the future is symbolized by the black rain which doesn't feed the garden but seems to wither the yard.

I like your Choka poem- interesting sequence- good picture presentation- good syllable count? Take a look at "and promises of growing old"? 8 -? Maybe - 'and promise of growing old' ? Sad lonely poem- good job AP

Comment from Mike Stevens
Another fine poem, Gypsy....and a sad and depressing reality that if you've never faced, consider yourself lucky, or a loner. Such a bleak picture your words paint

Comment from barbara.wilkey
Ouch!! This is another painful poem to read. You pulled out all the punches with this one.
The first two lines speak volumes:
"old and cruel black rain
covers our withered front yard"
Not only is the rain black the yard is withered.
But you don't stop there, oh no!
"sombered shadows
of our abandoned dark home"
Not only is our home abandoned and dark it has sombered shadows.
Then, this horrible person "took the sunshine and promises of growing old together".
GREAT JOB!!!1

It's beautifully written poem, Marival, and ever so sad. I like the form and I'm tempted to try it out myself. It's such a sad ending. Un abrazo, Ulla xx

This was a very haunting poem. Your descriptive verse and the stark work choice set the mood in this one. Very sad and I could feel the heartbreak of the broken promise. Gretchen
