Poetry--By Rick Parise--United States

elegy-

ancient river cry
below the pencil sketched hills
where once dreams consumed

for now, twilight dying fast
writing in tears, I lament...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hope 

silently...the golden sun rises upon the fevered fields       

crying tears of pain...she plucks a dandelion of a lost love 

and in a breath... she releases a dream upon the morning breeze...
