In shy morning hours
in mourning
December
my eyes under cover
midst slumber
and surrender
I
dreamt of my
mother
embracing her locket
of photos
of faces
-that!
I never knew.

I like all of this ... the layout ... its symmetry ... first thing I noticed ... nice flow ... great line breaks ... "-that!" ... which jolted me ... in a good way ... I have never seen that before ... set things up perfectly for the last line ... welcome to DUP ...

It's a wonderful and heart tugging piece, the grief intertwined with the season and cold leaves reeling in the pain of loss. The treasure of that locket feels magical.
Thank you for sharing.
Blessings and welcome to DUP.

I really dig your rhyme scheme. It flows really nicely. There is a wispy nostalgia to this piece that's makes it instantly relatable. Welcome to the DU.

You've managed to cover a lot of ground in such a short poem - excellent. I like the balance you struck dealing with a subject like grief in such a nuanced way. And welcome to DUP. Best regards, Josh.

Very elegantly penned... There is so much depth in this short write... It seems to unfold stories unrevealed....
