Great picture. Nicely written poem. You can really feel the loneliness pulsing off the page. It is almost like we can hear the rain as we read, well done. Karen :-)

Ciao mystery poet, you now have 3 votes.
This is a timely topic with two ugly wars being fought one in Ukraine and one in the Middle East.
Our leaders seek power and they are quick to send men to war.
These men are husbands , sons, brothers and they have loved ones that worry and pray for their safe return.
In Ukraine 400,000 soldiers are now six feet under.. their wives, mothers and sisters have shed many tears.
I would feel like I was living in limbo if the man I loved was a soldier fighting.
I would be able to function normally.
I would be in constant pain, passing my days praying and longing for his return.

Hi, tempeste. "I would feel like I was living in limbo." This is exactly the point I was aiming for when I wrote my poem. How does the wife move on? Many thanks for your comments and your vote.

The free verse, The Sorrow of a Soldier's Wife, brings the reality of family separation due to deployment to the readers' attention. The home front has a war as well.

I felt the loneliness and sadness so much in this short but beautifully written poem. Just true words from the heart, pen to paper. Capturing the loss of a loved one. Well done and best of luck with the contest!

If there are theatres of fighting going on, that would be the worst thing for an army wife, my dad fought in WW2, and escaped from Dunkirk at the beginning of the war, my brother was wounded in Vietnam and that might have been worrying for my mum, poignant and emotional, well done, blessings Roy
