I wrote this piece just yesterday inspired by a child of my own with some broken pieces. I modified to incorporate the challenge.

emptiness arrives instantly
caught without warning
a smile disappears into the blank space
broad strokes cannot cover the page
far from simple
an ocean does not feel the ripple
as you spill
the twisted reach of sorrow has caught you
here alone with everyone
someday it’s all gonna be beautiful
wear the mask to tell the truth
its easier that way
on the post rests the head
seeking medicine for the desolate soul
time it shall be that heals the broken children

This tugs at the heart knowing too many of our children suffer some kind of brokeness. Thank you for sharing.

Here’s my response – Haiku
‘The Children’s Song’
In night’s dark silence –
Broken children weeping lie –
Hear the song they sing –

Pingback: The Children’s Song – Haiku, a poem by Goff James | Art, Photography and Poetry
Hi everyone – hope I’m not too late – it’s Friday here in NZ. This poem called Strangers Come was inspired by the last time I saw my Mother and how I remember my Father.
She had never sat with me
head in hands like that
before a tear formed in the corner
of the eye, convinced
it was her time to die.
Hands played wrong note
after out of tune confession
in the grand old room where we would spend
most of the Christmas holidays
all of us
stuffed with every indulgence
and a need for a long walk in the snow
with the old man striding ahead
as if he would out live us all.
Little did we know that seasons come and go
and she’ll make it through another winter
to teach us that Spring gives us all hope
Would be good to be little again
with nothing to get wrong
to say sorry for
and even if we did
no one would hear us
until the new year
when the strangers came
stinking of whisky
laughing at anything,
nothing.
