Graces

Poem by Laila Ali Haid


Valour of brokeness held in grace periods

Likeness to milieus so shrewd in the dance

Kindness in passing to distant chairs

Yelling attitudes shaped hearts in gone tidings

Apathetic yearning in the knowing of it all

New clothes showing in low grandness

Chandeliers and tasting in the mores rent asunder

Quintessential learnings shook by mercies and graces

Bought from the fair was love with an aching dare.


Pools

  Poem by Laila Ali Haid Threads fraught  Bless ice  Plastic grace In epistemological heat.
