Sandra Fowler (February,4,1937 / W. Columbia, WV, USA)

A Call For August

There is a blue fragrance, essence of dusk.
The smoke of last things lingers on old clothes.
Sun has become as rare as goldenrod.

    The poetic imagery of the last line, tenderly touches my mind! As lengthening
    shadows point towards home, an eternal refuge for my chained soul! 10+

    I call for August but no answer comes- such an achingly beautiful line. that's life. how through unusual images you convey the impermanence fragility of life.
    sharing ourselves with someone who understands is deepest human desire.

    i have read it second time. your poetry grows on me as a reader.

    thanks Sandra

    Warm Regards
    Mamta

    sandraji,
    you are none but mother nature......
    it is very difficult to find out the discription of a tree or flower
    from the writings of an urban writer............
    you are someone livin in tandem with nature...........

    we look longingly at what has gone, resist and then accept. your images are surreal and expression so very serenading, it simply enthralls and touches with its depth of meaning

    lots of love
