For the Love of Her

and somehow... a nod and a shake of the head, a smile - poignant storytelling Tina xx

ld - good to talk to you and thanks;-)

I remember this one, Tina! There's so much warmth radiating from this poem, even if it is describing a drizzly day ;) Those last two lines are just perfect for rounding off the poem.

Magic xxx

Thanks for reading, Magic.

Glad you liked it. It is still so fresh in my mind and seems like yesterday.

Tina xxx

This is so lovely, made me smile despite the sadness in the lines, the last two make it,

Shirley - thank you so much.

I refer to Southwold in another of my poems, but this one is an exact account as to what actually happened on that day. There were two Japanese tourists actually, a man and his wife. They were lovely people and I hadn't the heart to tell them what we were really doing.

Means a lot to me that you enjoyed this;-)

Tina

I too remember this one Tina. You are obviously on a roll lately! Posting so many poems and getting so many cherries! ;-)

Well done.

Nathan.

Ah, wasn't sure if this was autobiographical, I visit Southwold often,I will think of theses words next time I'm there,

Shirley xx

Thank you, Natham;-)

Strangely enough, this was a brand new poem, Nathan, although as I explained to Shirley, I had mentioned Southwold and its pier in a previous poem, so I know where you and Magic are coming from, as they say;-)

Memories of this day were too fresh in my mind before to even think about it objectively, but now that I have written this poem, I am glad, especially as I remembered the Japanese couple, bless them;-)

Have a sunny weekend.

That would mean much to me Shirley, next time you go there that is. And also, if you happen to find yourself on the pier, there is a bronze plaque, I think about half-way down, with my daughter Andrea's name on it. You can't miss it, it says, 'The Sound of the Sea is Yours Forever'.

I like this a lot, Tina x:) You have captured an emotional moment in such a beautiful way x:)

I really enjoyed this, it's beautiful and a great ending as has already been said. Can't pick a favourite line or stanza, loved them all :)

Thank you so much, Firebird. And you have captured the essence of this poem in your words too.

Good on you, Beeme;-) Pleased you liked it.

Tina xx

This has me in tears. Brilliant.

Oh dear;-) Hope you're smiling again now and my sincere thanks to you for reading this and your lovely words. Means a lot.

So beautiful, Tina.

I've wiped my tears and now there's a smile on my face and a warmth in my heart. How I love your poetry :)

Rachel xx

As you will have gathered, Rachel, this poem is dear to my heart and I am so gratified that you read it.
Your words are beautiful, by the way and I thank you for them. You should think about becoming a writer some day;-)

If, at any time, you were interested in finding out more about the remarkable lady behind this poem, you could try taking a look at my story, 'Fireworks in the Snow'.

Once again, thank you. You made my evening;-)

Tina xx

Tina, you are very welcome for the comment, and I am humbled by yours. So kind of you to say I've made your evening :)

I'm having a Silver Spun Sand-binge at the minute, going through your work, and now you have mentioned Fireworks in the Snow, I'm going to indulge myslef some more.

As for the writing dream, I feel I am already living it by being on here with you guys, this site is wonderful and so are all of you :)

I'm going to read your story now, speak to you very soon, no doubt!
