Broken Heart (Sonnet) Poem by Valerie Dohren

Broken Heart (Sonnet)

Rating: 5.0


I found a broken heart the other day
So torn it was, it took my breath away
The noise it made was palest ever pink
It’s beating just as but the weakest blink

I wondered who once owned this precious thing
Was it by pauper, poet, or by King -
No matter, for it’s all the same I deem
Whoever that poor owner might have been

For poverty or wealth bears no effect
Upon this broken heart with its defect -
A heart is still a heart, it must be said
With care and tender love it should be fed

I rescued it and held it to my breast
That it may lie content and be at rest
