 Amy has
always had a passion for art and has recently discovered another artistic
talent. It was only in June of this year that she picked up a pen and wrote her
first piece of poetry. She has since had works, art and poetry, published in
various magazines and online journals, some such as SHINE, Eclecticzine and
Contemporary Rhyme. She is currently working on putting together a book to share
her talents with those who share her passion.
Tragedy
by Amy Mackiewicz
Her anguish is heard in a song sang afar
as a young widow weeps an off-key tune.
A melody of myriad emotions whispers
through the midsummer nights breeze
as the melancholy notes
lead into the depth of the night.
Heavy tears creep down her cheek,
lining her skin with faint, black smears
as droplets form, under her chin, before
gently cascading down into a pool of blood,
adding to the dark puddle of misery.
Her heart drums frightened beats that
grow louder, heavier as time painfully ticks by;
She cries not sorrow, but weeps her tears in vain.
Her deathly cries are drowned out as they near;
for soon, the consequences of murder
will be reaped upon this Black Widow...
