Sorrow Rises Like Fog Poem by Barry Middleton

Sorrow Rises Like Fog

Rating: 5.0


sorrow rises like fog
a daffodil bitten by frost

spring is a sweet kiss
and winter a broken hope

her eyes enticed
her glance burned my soul

a simple song trilled
in the heart of a mockingbird

then hushed like death
it was never heard again

when the wind stirs
I feel a cold regret

dew drops are like tears
on a barren landscape

I have to excersise myself upon your poems, Barry. I'll try to reline and reshape some of them.This one here fascinated me to do this.

Pain n sorrow are so beautifully depicted through nature imagery. The seasons come n go. Winter's melancholic air always gets me down but it's good for creativity. And yes spring is a sweet kiss. Superb imagery. A10.

Sometimes all that comes to me is an image for the essence of an idea. I love to keep it simple but elegant. Glad you like it too Nosheen.
