Winter's Bone




It’s winter,

The snow and wind chills one to the bone.

 

Ree Dolly,

Motivated girl, with a heart of stone.

 

It all started with the law,

Coming into her home.


The news she received,

Took her out of her comfort zone.

 

She left her house in search of her dad,
to be shut down with no news of where he’s at.

 

A smile to replace tears,
Her family seeing her weak is her deepest fear.

 

To find her dad she’d travel the seas,
His presence the only thing to set her soul at ease.

  1. This is the second poem I've read about this story that I thought was a wonderful micro summary of the events in the book. Well done, and I'm not just saying that; I write dreadful poetry -trust me I've tried more than once- I suppose that's why I enjoy it so much. Excellent work.
