broken eyelids scar
delicate threads of sadness
morning weaves sunlight
broken rifles scatter
grief so high a mounain creens
at broken bodies
broken skins shed hearts
robust from the power dread
greedy to suffer
break that TV screen!
monster of broken torture
switching you's and i's
so all may see me
the backs of technology
i dare to ride on
breaking news dreams souls
bound to garish depictions
broken planet earth
ah now the sweet treat
of a cherished broken thing
quite by accident
broken coffee pot
bought at the ten dollar store
charming little thing
Revisit
toppled
broken glass
broken
Poetry Jam the prompt is "broken"
I enjoyed each of your stanzas, Gillena. Ha, I think oftentimes we might be better off with a broken tv screen....and oh that breaking news that we cannot escape. I smiled at the last one with the broken coffee pot!
ReplyDeleteSo many different types of broken - very enjoyable.

Love this, just because it is broken does not mean it cannot be loved.

'broken' has associations with sadness. ...i like the way you brought them all. ...Hey Gillena missing your jingle bells ....
ReplyDeleteThe switch from heavy/serious things to the coffee pot is a good contrast. This flows nicely, too.

__We must change, a return to the more humane and pure-thought society that would enrich the world we leave to them... by not being the 'soured icons' that they would follow.
