Past Imperfect

Another good one, Silver Spun Sand. Particularly like the last stanza.

Thanks, seashore. Your words more than appreciated.

Tina

I really enjoyed Tina,

love this stanza;
'How serene and dignified
they seemed. Much like us;
standards to uphold.
Heaven forbid we’d break
the moral code.'

Good morning, Beeme, and thank you. Glad you enjoyed;-)

Hello Tina,

This reminded me of a long lost love from the past,
being together, wishing we had said more to each
other, but never actually saying how we felt.

Thankyou for a lovely read and the memories of a
wonderful time in the past.

Jenny.

Thanks, Jenny for your thoughtful and rather wistful words;-)

Tina

Wonderful stuff again Tina - this one is just great. You capture the past remarkably well in your writing. :-)

Thank, fatboy;-) Pleased you liked.

Hi Tina, really liked this (are you a Cambridge lass?) and especially your last line: And yet, it’s the things,
we didn’t do, I’ll most remember.

Poignant and lovely.

I do have quite a few ties with Cambridge, Sue;-) and thanks so very much for your words. Glad you enjoyed.

Has an elegant, nostalgic feel to it and the last stanza is utterly charming. Makes me wonder what the time period is.

Hi there, Shirley...late fifties, was what I had in mind, but then I guess, poetry is not an exact science, which is why I find it so appealing.

Glad you enjoyed;-)

So very atmospheric. A poignant, thoughtful piece. Thanks for sharing xx

Tales of the unrequited are often the world's best love stories - as I believe you've expressed here, Tina! This is really a poem for reading between the lines. Well done on the cherry ;)

SundaysChild - so glad you thought you thought so ... And indeed, it was my pleasure;-)

Tina xx

Magic - as you say, much written between the lines.

My thanks to you for reading;-)

Hope your week is going well.

A sad one it feels, but very beautiful. As others have said, I liked the last line about the things we remember best being what didn't happen rather than what did. Very true.

Good to hear from you, Rob and thanks, so much for reading. Hope it didn't make you feel to melancholy;-) Have a great weekend.
