The Ladies of Horror
Picture-Prompt Writing Challenge!

Spiritless
by Kim Richards
Tears fall like April raindrops
Quickly disappearing into
Grey fabric like clouds.
Sooty as my heart,
My soul,
My aura said a blind woman.
Gunmetal stone walls loom over
My body, my mind,
My loneliness.
I have no strength
To break free
So I shall die here.
Alone.
Unknown.
Grey.

Love how you’ve used sparse words to capture the bleakness of this person’s situation – very much “less is more”.
A fantastic poem.
