The Stanzas Of My Mind Poem by Sandra Fowler

The Stanzas Of My Mind

Rating: 4.7


When stars fell cold
Like chunks of ice out of a fatal sky,
We memorized the hoar frost on gray roofs
And slanted thoughts to fit time's westward curve.

Air smelled of snow,
That holocaust that killed all whispers white.
I felt the poem that you never said.
Its candle lit the stanzas of my mind.

My favorite lines were the first 2 and the last one, they were very moving. I liked how you used the idea of cold throughout the entire poem, it helped tie everything together.

Love your use of metaphor in this nostalgic poem about what might have been - and what will always remain in memory. The title is compelling - and shows us the poem never spoken. Masterful writing. love, Allie xxxxxxxxxxxxx
