Echoing Screams (Huitain)

by Cindy   Aug 24, 2007


Lost and alone no where to go
Many years now have passed me by
Days and nights they've moved so slow
Seeing your face wanting to cry
For so long your death I denied
Watching them tuck you in the ground
Yelling for you with no reply
Screams echoing the only sound

Huitain has 8 lines 8 syllables lines 1,3 rhyme lines 2, 4, 5, 7 rhyme and lines 6, 8 rhyme.

    This poem here brought tears to my eyes. With the resent passing of my step father I know this feeling all too well. Sitting through his funeral and looking at his picture…it just didn’t feel real. The tears wouldn’t stop but at the same time I could NOT grasp the fact that he was actually gone. Still on some days I think of him as though he’s at home…and all over again it hurts when I remember he’s gone. I fear that years from now I will still be in that same state. Enough rambling…my point is this is a poem that so many can relate to. It’s the painful truth of life. I’m in love with the last line…PERFECT ENDING..for me ;)
