A Lowering Day Poem by Sandra Fowler
A Lowering Day
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.

a marvel of a motivational muse in these lines I see wonder elements fuse
the very title has a tinge of sadness to it, yet it implies such days do come when you are overcome with longing and haunting memories. but you gradually move on to present with the ringing new year and end it on hopeful note. Sandra, your work as i always maintain has awesome quality of serenity, that you see in the personna of a spiritually evolved person.20/10 WARM Regards Mamta
Sadness, longing all encapsulated in exquisite verse and vibrant images but lightens at the end by poesy's promise.
your tue imaginations have caught up in the last stanza.From a little difficult strucure in the first two with setting the theme, the mosaic of pattern is cold and romantic, very appealing a 10++
I hear music when I read this poem. It plays a sonata to the soul.
sandraji, wonderful lines..... reading you is such a beautiful experience as images moves away like a movie..... so powerful...intense... i am wordless.......... thanks.............
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
