NaPoWriMo #30 - Write about a broken window

I have barely enough energy left to write my name but [cue trumpets] I did it! Thirty poems in thirty days. NaPoWriMo has been a magnificent experience. Congratulations to everyone who made it to the finish line.

My last poem for April 2011 is one of my favorite forms: a septolet. You may remember the Septolet as a poem consisting of seven lines containing fourteen words, with a break between the two parts. Both parts deal with the same thought and create a picture.

Prompt from Big Tent Poetry: Write about a broken window. I changed it slightly. This poem is about broken glass ... Look out, Chicken Little!

Broken Sky
When
she decided
to leave him,
shards

of rain
fell from
the glass sky.

This is a gorgeous piece, Marianne. I hope we continue to see each other over the weeks and months to come! Watch for my Sunday wordles--I know it's tomorrow, but... :)
