White Tune Poem by Sandra Fowler

White Tune

Rating: 5.0


The sun's white tune is breaking windowpanes,
As if we never danced to last night's rains.
Your cold look cuts my coming at the knees.
Emptiness is as giant as elm trees.

You do not want this leaf I dipped in dusk.
Light is exposing pity to the husk.
Blue is too frail to interest you, my friend.
Boat of my soul, I give it to the wind.

From my book, 'Ever Sunset', Skylark Publications, India

Each line is so shockingly beautiful and original! And, in the background is the rhapsody of the rhythm and the music's flow. Isn't it true, great poetry is achieved when the poet's soul dances with the words?

'Emptiness is as giant as elm trees' and 'Boat of my soul, I give it to the wind'. These two lines speak volumes about White Tune. CP

Young lady, you posses the most unique ability to pen a tight, and succinct poem...yet deliver it with movement & imagework that satisfies the components of a much longer, epic-style work.Compendiousity is a rare skill & difficult skill to master, Sandra...BUT with that said, i hereby dub you: '''Master/Masteress(Mistress, somehow, just doesen't seem to fly here) Of Compendiousity'''! Excellent work, as always, lass. ~ FjcR ~

I very much sense the melody of nature in this, our movement to its tune.
