Two Brothers -- Fill My Eyes

Here is another poetic chapter header from the novel "Fill My Eyes". It gives the reader some idea of the conflict between them. (One is 4 the other 21 years old). As always, I look forward to your feedback.


Poem Artwork

A child's head rests against the table

Waiting for the comfort that he seeks

"I would help you, if I were able."

As tears run down the child's cheeks

He tells him from across the kitchen floor

Then the child begins to speak

But his words echoes through the open door

Very sad indeed, and the photo adds to the intensity of the feelings shown here.

Terry,
You can feel the sadness from one brother to the other. It's a sad poem, but yet tells us of the human emotion between two brothers. The poem makes you want to reach out and help both of them.
Very Good,
Linda

Terry,

How sad that the child is crying out for help but left alone. Beautiful part of the book.

Mary
