OOH! OWW!

(The title is a humorous twist on the rhyme scheme ;-)


Oh, Ow!

How sharp the share that plows
soul soil;
affliction tills in rows,
that I may plant
sweet seeds of hope
in heart new-softened now.

Another sower also knows
the power of the pain,
and whether I allow
or no, he casts in doubt 
which quickly grows.

harrow

follow
owe

Edit, comment, add!  Fix up the second stanza!

  1. Oh Julia, the second stanza doesn't need any fixing up! I love it! But I want a third stanza, not just a list of words! The second stanza leaves me without resolution. Is a third stanza coming?
