Teenage Trauma War Widow Poem by Terence George Craddock

Teenage Trauma War Widow



sixteen or seventeen years young
in fresh lush bloom of beauty
fading in recent widow grief
within one month of marriage

her beloved husband dead lost
has fallen killed in some far place
despicable futile deadly foreign war
leaving a young widow alone in daily

anguish grief distress
as time endless flows past
in liquid seconds

minutes hours
turning into days weeks
months eternal emptiness flowing...
