Shard

I am a shard, Remnant of a broken family portrait. Jagged and rough, But oddly complete I am a shard, Shattered platter at supper. Lamb is the main course, A sacrificial offering to mend what was I am a shard, No longer complete. My jagged edges Sever all mutual emotion I am a shard, Translucent and brittle. My hard exterior is see-through And I break easily.

Dylan, , Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
