Melancholy Poem by Bob Blackwell
Melancholy
Early morning,
light with sun,
that’s still to rise.
Chilly is the air,
mist still rising,
from the pond.
A morning hush
mingles with
a rising damp.
Moon a ghost
shines dimly in
a misty vapour.
Outlook gloomy
her way forward
is not very clear.
Hunched up sad,
she stares down,
till a shiver runs.
Then a tear falls
slowly down to
wet her cheek.
It's a beautiful piece Bob. I like the way you take your surroundings to paint the picture of your melancoly creating a spiritual sadness as you paint.10
While reading Orhan Pamuk... In one his books... I caught this word... 'Melancholy'. It sounded so great to me then...'huzn' the meaning. Arising out of grief... Arising out of spiritual mood. Here, you have captured both... Its so true... in all those phases...above There is a touch of spiritual truth and at the end... the grief. Enjoyed this read. Thank you dear poet.
Bob, you have so effectively captured melancholy with your vivid images. a very different style. you have a very perceptive eye and always express through metaphors of nature. Mamta

Exactly how I feel right now, burdened with too much despair and disturbed by sadness... a poem penned with so much feeling, short yet very meaningful and easy to relate to. Please read mine, Beautiful Nightmare, Winter's Spell and My Last Breath. It hadn't been a good time for me this past few weeks, things were a bit rocky and I'm doing my best to go through it. Thank you for sharing.10.
Deeply atmospheric; and you leave your reader pondering, with sadness. Well done. t x
