Get into this train for a great ride....
hiding there-
yet aura makes known
of your presence
******
musty old letter
bringing in tears-
tears me apart
******
others' memories
are just as private
as our thoughts
******
All these and a few more were inspired by J. Andrew Lockhart.
Three thoughts worth consideration
ReplyDeleteLike all of them. First one especially :D
ReplyDeleteAll good, but first the best.
ReplyDeleteI want to get on
ReplyDeletethe poetry train!
We're on it already!
I like the third one's realization of the inner lives of others.
ReplyDeletei like this set..
ReplyDeletei can relate to the letters bringing you back, flooded with tears.. and then the reminder that other's memories/thoughts are private and something you cannot control.. ultimately we have to let go of those letters!
Inspired by Andrew...nice!
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed them all very much!
Good work, Gautami!
Margie
the way they looked . . .
ReplyDeletethey must have forgotten
me by now
I like the play on words in the second with "tears"! But all three are nice crisp images!
ReplyDeleteLove the tears and tears play!
ReplyDeleteas far as the last one- yes, you're right-- doesn't mean I won't think about it, though. :)
ReplyDeleteI like them all and thank you.
I like the last verse!
ReplyDeleteyet aura makes known
ReplyDeleteof your presence
That's wonderful. What shadows can't reveal, the aura does well.
mmmm I like, especially the second one...as you know ;)
ReplyDeletewonderful!
ReplyDeleteloved them all!
Oh, loved these...especially the first two! They had an impact.
ReplyDeletea strong set, gautami. you were indeed inspired.
ReplyDeleteGreat inspirations - well done Guatami - like where the last one takes me.
ReplyDeleteAll three... grand_! _m
ReplyDeleteHi Gautami, I'm still being torn apart by your torant of tears in fact I'm tearing my hair out!
ReplyDeleteThe NaisaiKu.. prompt is up!

ReplyDeletehiding there
tears me apart
