This poem was written for a Poets of the Lake assignment. We were given the first line of a poem and instructed to use it to develop our own poem. The first line of this poem was written by Marianne Moore.
"The cure for loneliness is solitude" for solitude doth heal. Like a bitch nurses her wounds dragging herself aside not imposing her unwanted presence on the party spirit of others licking carefully at the matted hair tasting the blood and the pain healing slowly becoming very wise. |
