More Poetry...




These are my most recent pieces. They are much shorter and I have enjoyed discovering the technique of saying everything I need in only a few lines. The second of the two I wrote just yesterday while sitting on my front porch enjoying the warmth of the sun and the perfume of hyacinths in our front garden. I truly hope my readers can take something from these pieces.
This picture is another one I took. It is a rose that has only partially opened and has not yet had the chance to fully bloom. Once again, I felt this picture reflected some elements within these poems.


------------------

I'd say I lost you,
But I never had you
--Instead I lost myself.

---------------------

As a child you were told
Of the piece of silver worth a hundred gold;
More the pain of losing you
Than the thousand souls I never knew.

Wonderful, so much summed up in those three lines, I look forward to reading more of your writing. :-)

Such a beautiful photo of the Rose too.

Thank you, Susannah. That is very generous of you. It is always good to get feedback from other writers.

I agree with Susannah, those lines are really great!
