I have been doodling with this for quite sometime and could never come up with anything interesting. I am not gonna give you a line but a subject.

Elizabeth...I love your work...but I haven't seen a whole lot of sad poetry from you...it could just be because i've missed them.
How about this...write me a poem about the death of a parent...from a small childs perspective.


 "Glory remains unaware of my neglected dwelling where alone
I sing my tearful song which has charms only for me."

-Charles Brugnot
