Tears.
Let's face it, we're an emotional lot, we creative types. Write about crying. It could be about the cause of your tears, the emotion behind them, or simply the physical reaction. Poetry and prose both welcome. Whichever way it takes you.
A Prisoner Named Sorrow
Sorrow crawls up
the back of my throat
A paraplegic, dragging
herself in a moat
She climbs up to weep
through my eyes
The prisoner of my soul...
...paralyzed
I would release her
and set her free
But the door is locked
and I can’t find the key
