Old News Poem by Sandra Fowler
Old News
Time over Tuesday, August almost gone,
So little left of summer to dream on.
I write a poem on the windowglass.
Quatrains waver like shadows in the grass.
One feels as if all life is lost in form.
Only sun's metaphor can keep us warm.
A lone, nostalgic whistle in the hills,
Tells me our train has come, the moment chills.
You turn my collar up against the sound.
Gray smoke configures good-bye on the ground.
The picture is too beautiful to lose
Your eyes tell me that Tuesday is old news.

A lone, nostalgic whistle in the hills, Tells me our train has come, the moment chills...great expression dear Sandra. It's a brilliant poem.
I'm putting this one right next to one of Emily Dickinson's epigrams. 'What Miracles the News is! Not Bismark but ourselves.'
It elicits a gentle chuckle from me that I do not understand but enjoy. Bill Grace

This has a mood that strikes me as both intimate and timeless. Very wistful and meticulously crafted.
