Memories of Susan
by Wayne Thomas (Age: 58)
copyright 05-17-2004


Age Rating: 13 to 127

 
The sky is overcast this morning,
gray as the cat sleeping on the stoop,
and wrings itself out in a cold drizzle.

I walk bareheaded like a fool,
hands stuffed in quilted pockets,
daydreaming in the sudden autumn.

Her laughter trickled down, leaked into
my drear darkness, and brought me into the
sunlight with a start.

I see her now, honey hair blowing in the
cold wind, mittens red as her cheeks,
old tennies crunching through dry leaves.

I hear her now, singing for the sheer
joy, perfect pitch, loving every word,
and I sing with her.

I feel her now, warm breath on my neck, her
lips brushing my cheek, and her arms tight around
my shoulders. She was, maybe, ten.

And I know, I know--she was just a kid,
a here today gone tomorrow moment.
But I miss her.

I hear the poet' voice coming through the mist
in a loud and clear way with beautiful words and phrase arranged in a beautiful way.

I feel that the sentiments voiced were sincere, honest, and real.

I relate to this greatly.

Thanks,

Rich

This is so deskriptive. I love it! I can picture every word. If you can paint, this would be amazing painting.

You are a painter. Your canvas is paper, your paint a pen and your masterpieces are wonderful! This is a wonderfully written poem. Thanks, Anthony

Very Beautiful!

This is a really sweet piece... and once again, Joan says it all, wonderful use of words and descriptions.... again appealing to the senses.... just a really nifty write! Everybody has those "here today gone tomorrow moments". Memory keeps them with us forever, though they may be quick to pass over us. Great job!

Wayne,
You have a way with words, this is just enchanting, full of imagery that captivates the senses. Good use of meaphors:
"The sky is overcast this morning,
gray as the cat sleeping on the stoop,
and wrings itself out in a cold drizzle."

A marvelous use of words!!
