  A Lowering Day

User Rating:

8.7 /10
(29 votes)



  Sometimes on lowering days I think of you
And watch the clouds create your Slavic face.
True poetry is ageless I am told,
But those who pen it are as frail as smoke.

The gray sound of an Appalachian bell
Rings in the rare gift of another year.
Your work has gone beyond the calendar,
A bright thought that exceeds all imagery.

Trees weave intricate patterns upon dusk.
My fingers trace the elegance of form.
The music of the landscape plays old verse.
It lights my little corner of the world.

In a lowering day when a divine heart reaches as high as the Heaven a soft poem

Your verse resounds -

Gray sounds lowering days, but the ancient bells sound, evoking memory and hope; the clouds are great image makers, those that weave intricate patterns are makers of wonderful imagery

-a lovely experience

Your exquisite poem evokes so many feelings, Sandra. A little sadness, peacefullness, nostalgia... I especially love the last two lines. This one is a 10 for sure.

Have a wonderful day.
Ron

Here the reader is able to feel the mute yet eloquent sadness filled in between the lines...pricks one’s inside yet creates no pain...gives the soothing feel of a thorn inside being sweetly removed...and the last two lines...just sweeping the reader mind, Sandra...beautiful and great is yours this write...10

A powerful and beautiful poem.

than the fraility of humans,
especially poet humans.

The rare gifted music I hear from most of your poems and the true poet never gets old as same as the limitless sky?
