"Miscarriage" is a contest entry on another site. One had to write a poem based on the picture, and these words came vividly to mind...


Poem Artwork

"Miscarriage"

I held on as tightly as I dared
onto the Light,
but the darkness within my womb caused
it to die in
a rush of hot blood.  It slipped to the
floor, never to
be remembered, extinguished, even,
its heartbeat stalled
forever.  I wish I'd known her name.
I had in mind
Aurora, the goddess of the dawn ....

(c) 2007, Karla Dorman (4/9)

Penetrating and intense, Karla. Very vivid and the agony is apparent in your stark and striking lines. Immediate like the sharpness of the black and white picture. Unique interpretation and a keenly felt write. Let us know how you get on! :)) LOL Kate xx

Oh Karla,

Your impeccable ability to immediately draw the power of truth from every situation, does justice to this extremely agonizing experience.

I pray it wins; you are deserving.
God bless you, Sister.

This is one hell of a powerful and awesome write that captures the image as portrayed and turns it into the agonizing sadness of which you speak. Very emotionally draining to write I imagine.
