That Primal Scream

Last month's poem of the month writer, Clarius Ugwuoha, has chosen this month's poem. He says,"I single out Bill Ewen's 'That Primal Scream" for its rhyme, rhythm and appeal. It recreates live in a terse and haunting tone." Find out more about Bill and his work at http://www.writeoutloud.net/poets/billewen THAT PRIMAL SCREAM One damaged soul, one broken heart, Her dying words confirmed his fears ; That last goodbye was faintly heard, While fate reclaimed her living years. One final kiss, one final breath, His precious love had slipped away ; That silence crept around the room, While grief denied him words to say. One saddened stare, one tearful face, His mind now closed to every dream ; That trembling voice revealed his loss, While lips released that primal scream.
