Mother Goose Belief

This is a first draft, and will more than likely receive revision. Thanks for your consideration.

The callous winter wind of your leaving
caught my unprotected heart
naive and unaware
ripping your love from me
like a leaf torn from the settled frozen grave
of life's uncertainty

Since the moment of your leaving
I hear the voice of death
speaking softly
between the lines
of self and satisfaction
pleading its case in
a court of no appeals
destined for a lonely journey
of no return

Guilty is the verdict
Guilty is the cry
there is no innocence of loss
as I stand naked before the court of life’s forsaken dreams
Guilty of love’s foolishness
and the Mother Goose belief that
relationships can live forever

Listen to William, Lori. I don't think this needs to be changed a bit. A lot of first drafts are fine the way they are. And this is one of them. Keep it the way it is. It's very good.

Can only speak for myself, but this is good as it is, and revision will merely tamper with the integrity of your emotions and the moment. stet is my best advice. lovely, lovely work.

Mother Goose, what did she know, I have it on good authority that she did the nasty with ALL of the Three Little Pigs, the tramp. LOL Loved this sad, touching poem. Seems as if I will have to track you also.

i like this. especially the title.

hint on revising: put it away for a week and done think about it. then go through each line, each WORD, and ask yourself if it's doing its job.

remember: in poetry there's no room for filler.
