you need the apostrophe in'a moment's clarity'

Liked the alliterative flowers etc.

Second stanza struck some chord I can't quite explain.

Thanks Ewan, appreciate your comment :-) atb lena

Lovely poem. The tone and language of the poem make it sound almost like a little spell ;-)

Well done.

Nathan.

Thanks for your charming sense of the piece Nathan :-) no spell, don't know any, do they work? Just a late night musing..too much coffee :-)atb Lena

Nice one Lena. I too felt something familiar...I know those moments of belated clarity.

Thanks Chuck, just kicking over some owl droppings again ;-)atb Lena

I agree with Ewan regarding the apostrophe...

otherwise, a stunning little poem!

"Here lingers the time
softened scent of you"

i really like these lines...the use of different "textures" works well...time(scope), softened(touch), and scent(smell)...does that make any sense? if it does, great; if it doesn't, well, i enjoyed the poem.
good work.

how the heart howls ......lovely little poem. Margot

I adored the sound of this, and athte shape of the poem, and the words, they are like a song, 'how the heart howls' and I don't understand how I can love it so much and not understand it. My mind is in abrain fog at the moment, I can't think straight, I may be missing hte meaning , but I love the feel of it.

Thanks Sunshine & anipani, very flattered :-) atb Lena
