Broken Bridge

PROMPT 4: Write a history poem.

Reflection

History
told his story.
Hers was left
untold.

Till I saw the moon
in the wandering stream
and my foot
came down on it all.

I felt the coldness
of his grave.
I felt her icy
grip.

Yet time cannot
bring them back
to kiss
on the broken bridge.
