Linda by Terry68: 5:02pm On Dec 30, 2014
LINDA
In the atmosphere of regrets
Waiting to storm is vengeance
Anger becomes the soul fragrance
Clouded in its agony covered in teardrops
like a child that is abuse

Life becomes a perfect casket,
So fitted like a product in a packet
Feelings was hit as if the heart was the target
Eyes opened but reasons wasn't sighted

So tender her family was lost
on her shoulder she knows she's about to carry a heavy cross
Thinking this very life is a curse
By taking what matters to her to the dust

Sheded tears, she's now in fear
Vengeance left, reasons were clear
Accidents came and nobody cares
Seperated by family and peers

Years have passed times have changed
To a noble man she gets engage
To the world she's now a stage
Like her life was perfectly arrange
People can never believe the book of life's page
Her many disadvatage never clouded her one advantage

Number of lines in each verse is not consistent. No fair

Okay. I can work this

Now Linda has her prince
She has her strength as guide
Her lessons as a staff
And her pride as her north star

She is the perfect help mate
The perfect daughter in law
And the best neighbor
Warm full of smiles and helpful to other
But there is a snag

As the little ones come
Linda remembers her struggles
She remembers her pains
She remembers her fights
She remembers the hurt
And what it is like

So she shields her children
She keeps them under her feather
Tells them the world is dark and cold
Wicked and unfriendly
The trials she passed through she uses
And the lessons she learnt her guide

She loves them but she did not prepare them
Brilliant kids but unintelligent
They could not survive without Linda
They were grown babies
Ina world where adults were needed
Linda has done what's right in her sight
But the world needed her to do more.

I knew it wasn't consistent.
Nice modification
Buh the thought behind the piece
Was kind of different

I know. I was just playing around. The fun thing about poetry is that like all creative arts the present creator dictates direction and can stir it in any she/he likes

That's true. This is my first creation of new post here.

On the second thought; seems we are not much here.
