Shattered Dreams
It’s National Poetry Month, and with a box of paintings from Afghanistan, the painting ‘Shattered Dreams’ of a guy with his kite caught in the tree came to mind.
Shattered Dreams
A tree
A boy stands
Dust swirls
Fists clenched
Branches whip
Tears stream
Wind whistles
Upturned face
Fabric tears
Shattered dreams
A kite, caught, tattered
