I dreamt we met in verses once again.
The mood was Lithuanian as yourself.
Our convesation was in pen and ink,
Outdated as a winter aeorgramme.
You wrote me notes upon the stems of flowers,
Then told me to destroy your poor scribbles.
Snow to the eaves could still bring Wednesday back,
Though time itself was quite irrelevant.
I woke this morning feeling reassured,
To see my Yiddish name upon the pane.
Rare as a single snowflake is that bond,
That lights old souls beyond all winterness.
Suberb! The imagery is wonderful! The gosammer of memories so well woven into a celestial wonder! !
Each and every new poem you post is but another page in your incredible repertoire. The poem reeks of nostalgia that rises like dust, disturbed by the hooves of time. Now, in this age of high tech communication, the aerogramme has become a symbol of the past - another link in time's never ending necklace; a link that has lost its utility and is fading from memory but yet - in it's day - was one of the most important modes of communication. How true? ? ? The power of great memories does have a transcendental quality that can make time irrelevant and in doing so gives us a lot to smile and be happy about. Sandra, you never cease to astound and delight your readers with your wonderful gift for words. Leonard
How very imaginative, dreams woven together with unforgettable memoirs. An exceptional piece.
Our convesation was in pen and ink, Outdated as a winter aeorgramme. - From the core of my heart, I mourn the demise of 'aeorgrammes and envelopes', of hand written letters. If you have time, you may like to read my poem titled 'Our Lost Treasure Trove' and say a few words please. This poem deserves full marks.10/10.
