i have weighted
memories of you
on some other
spring, under a new
straw hat, rose-hued,
a string to secure.
you were holding
my hand
on some other
spring, the sun
beating down on us, but
you never let go.
i have weighted
memories of you
like an old tune –
hold my hand through
this, because somewhere
a string will snap, muted
.

I love this POEM!
thank you, Leslie!
Y,
Beautifully woven. I appreciated the use of string for the hat at the beginning, blending the string through an old tune and snapping it at the end. Very moving. I also appreciated the past tense of holding my hand moved through to the present tense of hold my hand.
Peace,
Stephen
thank you, Stephen! i’m happy that it worked! (smile)
A bit of poetry in a beast’s world.
Do you say that like that in english (it’s a French motto)

Flowers blossoming amidst the darker debris–nice.
flowers already fading by their fall…(smile)
This is very lovely and seems to have cool emotion rather than the past sense of loss in your poems. Gorgeous. Pearl
thank you…you know how it goes…(smile).
