I know exactly what your saying, especially in that last line. As I get older it becomes obvious that life is repeated over and over by generations of people coming up behind me, walking in my shadow.
At least that's how I read it. A...

Some wonderful use of metaphors here like:-
To a pond that softly brooks and whispers,
Like nut-brown skin that lolls across

Funnily enough my partner's going night fishing with his son this weekend, so I expect he will be sitting thinking of me and I of him. Nice thoughtful poem.

Oh Penny, I so enjoyed reading this piece. Your shared thoughts reminded me of my own dad and how I felt when he sadly died and having to sort out the many records in his collection. Did your dad play the piano? If he did then again you would...

I can't believe I missed reading this beauty Di. I love the way you describe the tiny leaves as clasped hands joined in prayer. I always love to sow marigold seeds, they're so easy to grow and your poem described exactly how they first appear....

So beautiful and mysterious.

I enjoyed your poem Di, it had a lighthearted feel to it as I read. I could feel the cool air as the turbines rotate.
Relaxing read.

Posted on Thu, 12 Apr 2018
I had this vision in my mind's eye of a woman sitting on a cliff top looking out to sea and reminiscing of lost love. I know I'm probably miles away from what your poem was saying, but I found it so haunting and sad, yet so poetic and written...
