BOOK DESCRIPTION This book takes the reader from the author's first loss; Her dad when she was less than seven Though to the loss of two husbands. One chapter of Dysfunctional Poetry Included will be many emotions A person will experience with each loss; A book you will relate to If you have experienced loss By death, separation, or divorce. ~~~ POEM FROM THE BOOK I WONDER IF ANIMALS DIVORCE I wonder if animals divorce? What about birds? I’ve not seen them mate, but I’ve heard. Spread the word, God loves us all. Microcosm, macrocosm, we’re all in it. The vapors of air or my wit, It’s all there as plain as can be; We’re all a part of infinity. The sun and the moon and the stars am I, And yet we are all creatures . . . who lie. *All others, from all things, draw all that’s good, Life, soul, form, spirit, whence they being have; I, by love’s Limbeck* am the grave Of all that’s nothing. *Excerpt from A Nocturnal upon S. Lucy’s Day by John Donne *Limbeck: Alembic, an apparatus used in alchemy for distilling ~~~ SHAPE POEM FROM THE BOOK A PUZZLE I sketch your likeness upon paper. And with scissors I cut it apart, 'Til I knew each bit of you; Every single facial part. No different than any Other man-just Bits held in The palm Of my Hands & I wonder about it all; what made you So great, what caused you to fall? Then I blow the pieces of paper Into the air and I watch as They quickly slide Down the mirror Hangin-on my Bedroom Wall llll llll llll llllllllllll llllllllllllllll lllllllllllllllllllll lllllllllllllllllllllllll All poetry copywrited by Jean Elizabeth Ward |
