Questions And Answers Poem by Rani Turton
Questions And Answers
Under a dripping grey sky
Sad, soaking, shivering and wet
I wanted to know why
Why and why and why
On that rainy day when you said goodbye
On that sodden day you went away
I had to walk on, forlorn.
Now years later under a metallic sky
Sad, soaking shivering and hardly dry
I try to remember
The question and the quest and why
I needed to know
The answers, the answers, the replies.
grieving and pining for the beloved is painted wonderfully in words; ..great poem Rani...keep posting more poems
very sad Rani. The excellent part about this one is that I have no idea who left, or why they left, but it gets it's pt across...you have an unresolved issue that years later still bothers you. The rain imagery was almost funeral like, very sad and poignant.
The two stanzas are different in nature.. first where an anxiety to know why such pains occur, the second asks the same question so knows somewhere that the reply will not be there.. I find both stanzas perfect written with true feelings.
The answers, the answers, the replies. ----- they gone with the wind...
a brilliant first stanza Rani.. ..to my mind, unfortunately the second stanza failed to live upto the expectations released by the first...
A truely nice write from a gifted pen and articulate mind 10 Chris
