Mary With Arms Crossed
Cried she...
Rapunzel with her hair
so fair that reached
down to the floor.
Her arms wrapped tightly
around Mary,
Mother of our Lord.
Her arms were crossed
in front of her
protecting her heart.
Demurely covered
a face worn and gaunt
from seeing her son
die so cruelly and unjustly
on the cross that day.
It was interesting to hear how this writing prompt was interpreted by each of us in the writing group. We all picked up on a similar theme especially being that we are nearing Good Friday next week.
