Humble Heart
h is for heart
He held her hand
Her hand held his heart
He held his head high
He honored her
Hearing her hesitation
His heart harbored hurt
His head hung
Hardening his humble heart

Pamela Walsh-Holte

My To Be Read List
I have been taking some time away from writing. I haven't forgotten about Vocal, the truth is I just have been too busy pursuing other things to write online and honestly, my little family and I just had a really hard month between the flu and a weird eye infection/cold circulating our house. I'm currently sipping some warm peppermint tea because my throat is sore.

Excellent poem… especially considering it’s a tautogram! Well deserved placing. ✅ I only learnt about tautograms four months ago when Dharrsheena commented that she thought my silly alliteration gone crazy poem was going to be a tautogram.🤣
Impressive!
Thank you all for your words and encouragement! I have to say I was shocked when I saw I had placed! I look forward to reading your works, I'm excited there is so much talent here!
I am shocked! I decided to check and see who one some of the challenges I had enetered and to my surprise I received an honorable mention! I am so greatful!
Beautiful tautogram, Pamela!!! An entire story in so few lines conveying strong emotion! Congrats on your placement!! 💫
This is just beautiful
It’s used such similar phrases to mine and yet has a completely different meaning. I love it and I love words lol 🌸
Pamela, this is really good. Love the form of this piece. You created a lot of power with your repetition… the ‘huffing’ of the h creates a sort of breathy drumbeat. Really well done. Congrats on placing in this very competitive challenge!! Well deserved 👏
Congratulations!!!
Lovely, lovely, Hope she loves. Read mine I will read yours, Seriously. Lovely poem.
