The Old House Rides On Morning Poem by Sandra Fowler
The Old House Rides On Morning
Caught in the bright eye of encroaching sun,
The music falls in windfalls of white fog.
Bird feather tracings of suggested flight
Hone moments to the sharpness of pale skies.
Hands interlace across a hobnailed cup.
Gray windows mirror a century of warmth.
The shabbiness of day is beautiful.
We take a picture of it with our hearts.
The old house rides on morning like a boat.
Indifferent to the turbulence of trees,
It crests the dawn with dignity intact,
And rests becalmed on seas of goldenrod.
A selective and verymuch molded great work, all required ingredients put correctly, I am absolutely unable to attempt more comments, thanks for giving the great asset,10++++
Respect for your work has no limit, this poem a rare jewel Sandra. The rustic imagery of an old home remains ever beautiful in the nostalgia expressed.
Nostalgia and imaginations are always at their peaks in your poetry, Sandra. This is a wonderful poem with a blend of imagery and metaphors. The old house is a symbol of life and its dignity against the tyranny of time. Thanks a lot for sharing this few liners beauty of your art. Warm Regards, Naseer
A beautiful poem with metaphors that twist like a dirt road, I truly love: The shabbiness of day is beautiful .
I've just looked out of my window at golden rod. Thanks for giving it a new look.
The house that floats is fuelled by intense imagination; I can view it like 'Tara' of the “gone with the wind”.
Your imagery never ceases to amaze, Sandra. This poem is worth several readings. The image of the house floating first in fog and then in flowers is haunting. Perhaps we are like that house, shabby in daylight but rich in imagination. Ours is, after all, a temporary home. - Will
Your poems, like the pieces of a 1000 piece jigsaw, gradually reveal your world to the reader. And themes recur - like goldenrod and gray windows and birds that always sing in a minor key. In this one: 'The shabbiness of day is beautiful. We take a picture of it with our hearts.' is particularly eloquent. Love, Alison ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

riding on morning's shoulders it kisses the sunshine, it smiles all the while no time to whine. Old, yet glitters as gold taking eveything including shabiness in its fold....
