An Orphan's Plea (ET Waldron's Challenge from January)

One theme using different styles

Senryu-5-7-5
Cinquain-2-4-6-8-2
Tanka -5-7-5-7-7
Englyn-7 syllable- triplet rhyme
Finish with Senryu-

Longing for a home
The orphan grieves in silence--
No one to turn to,

Alone
Their hearts yearn for
A shoulder to cry on
Someone to hold them thru the storms
For love

Their souls cry for help
They need a special person,
One who’s always there,

To kiss all the hurt away
And bring a smile to their face,

Their eyes are filled with longing,
They’re searching for belonging
In every new day’s dawning

Someone to calm a nightmare
And wipe away tears with care
When life gets too hard to bear

To be rescued from their plight
A Mom to kiss them good night
A Dad to lift them in flight

Suff’ring in silence
They pray their special someone
Rescues them in time

So many children...so little love around it would seems.
An unwanted child is like a blanck page waiting for you to write in it the most beatiful prayers or the worst letters of rejection.
An oustanding collection of words.

Suffering in silence is exactly what those lost children do, as well as pray that someone will come forward and claim them for their own. Sometimes our prayers, wishes and pleas go unheard and that is always sad because all life is valued....

Be always safe,
Karen

Thank you for taking the challenge, I'm so impressed. You have used it to call attention to what should be one of societies deepest concerns! Yet, it is hardly ever addressed! I applaud how you have made the case ,and pray the plight of orphans will be given more attention in the future,as long as there are people like you who care. Brava!
