The Stanzas Of My Mind Poem by Sandra Fowler

The Stanzas Of My Mind

Rating: 4.7


When stars fell cold
Like chunks of ice out of a fatal sky,
We memorized the hoar frost on gray roofs
And slanted thoughts to fit time's westward curve.

Air smelled of snow,
That holocaust that killed all whispers white.
I felt the poem that you never said.
Its candle lit the stanzas of my mind.

What a stunning memorial to the victims of the holocaust! As always, memorable, beautiful, highly original, with unforgettable imagery. The lines of the poem makes one remember the great loss to mankind; and it makes you think of the poems never written. It makes one cry.
