Solace

Curious cup filled silently,
as if to find a way,
of understanding sorrow;
black cat of inner play.

Solace sipped so slowly,
drank the wine of grief,
stomach surely soured;
Love would find no peace.

  6. There is plenty of sorrow to go around, it seems and many not personally affected by it share that wine of grief. Nicely done. And safe travels, Roslyn.

    Not easy to grapple with sorrow as the the sadness lingers on with one's emotions

  11. love the alliteration in the first line of the second quatrain. "Solace sipped so slowly". The repeated sounds, and the fact that the "s" sound takes a wee bit longer to sound out than most other letters really emphasized the slowness with which solace sipped :-)
