Broken Clay (Free verse) by donmiguel1960 wasted life of anguish, and demise
diminishing, groping, and endless maze
family so young, dieing, with dark eyes
living disgrace, of a tortuous blaze
unfaithful husband, of horrific reach
with sins of faith, that can never depart
brings a dieing wife to a shallow beach
unable to restore, her broken, sad heart
falling stars that never return,
they blink, then wink until their gone
a families soul as a dieing fern
they shine no more from dusk to dawn
absent is all their hope and might
drifting in life from day to day
a husband who forgot just how to fight
a beauty now lost in broken clay
Up the ladder:
Ransom
Down the ladder:
Embrace the Politics

There's a good sentiment here that could be a good poem. Get rid of half the commas (faith, that - for example); clean up the grammar; and get rid of excess words (now in the last line, just in the penultimate line) and fix the spelling - families, their.
