Misty Blues

Oh, trees of once so forest green now shrouded to me in pale hues as my hearts reflection of blues mirrors a lifeless figurine Pray hide from me sunbursts of glow for the sky is of mist alone and where I roam as cold as stone all thoughts run deep and overflow Shadowy shaped vapours haunt me with your gaze of cerulean blue and if to feel your touch I drew my hand that longed the touch of thee All worn paths I fear now to tread for there are haunting scents of you that so relentlessly pursue a heart that’s already long dead All alone as teardrops of blue and misty, hazy dreams of you float away once more out of view forsaking what my heart once knew

Dearest Wen, treasured beautiful comments from a treasured friend. Thank you so, so much for your illuminated presence here which always brings such joy. Also, for your continued valuable support. I managed to work out how to put a music vid on and was thinking of you when doing so :) I’m learning slowly! I hope you are all having a good weekend. Luv and blessings to you always. Big hugs xx

Dear Christina, I apologize for not previously acknowledging your beautifully crafted poem that delves into themes of loss, longing, and sadness. Your poignant exploration of heartbreak and solitude, as well as the lingering memories of a past relationship, is both moving and captivating. The emotive language you employ effectively conveys a sense of melancholy and yearning. The imagery you use, including words like "shrouded," "reflection of blues," "shadowy shaped vapors," and "teardrops of blue," evokes feelings of sorrow and longing. Your incorporation of color imagery, such as "pale hues" and "cerulean blue," enhances the emotional depth of the poem.

If I may answer your question to Andrea: you will see that Poetry Soup lists many tools and aids, example: Types of Poems. 'A poems' refers to the types of poems (in other words, the poetic forms) listed under 'A' at this site.

Your poem beautifully conveys a deep sense of loss and melancholy, using nature and evocative imagery to reflect the speaker's emotional state... It masterfully uses natural imagery and a melancholic tone to explore themes of loss, memory, and the haunting persistence of grief. Its emotional depth and lyrical quality create a powerful and moving reading experience.

Christina Bowring

Dear SO, such a wonderful, accurate and perceptive analysis of the poem from you. Thank you so much for your visit and generous time with giving me encouraging feedback and as you do with so many. You are so very much appreciated. I love that you have noticed the natural imagery which is delightful. Thank you dear SO for your inspirational presence always. Blessings to you.

Oh gosh Christina, so terribly sad and bleak, but in a beautifully written way. This is classic poetry, an art form that is being left behind in favor of one liner quips that pass for neo-poetry and for which the Insta crowd with it's short little attention span craves. A fave for Tom Woody

Christina Bowring
Date: 5/18/2024 10:21:00 AM

Dear Tommy, I can hardly express my elation and gratitude to you for making my day my friend! Your valued comments are so thrilling, so uplifting and inspiring. Thank you so, so much. I’m swinging from the stars - I’ve got a fav from you :):) To me, that’s a golden trophy. I’ve done it! Thank you! I’m so delighted. I do agree with you - so many different art forms are being left behind and I think there’s still and always will be room for the classics as well as more contemporary works. We need to keep it alive. Thank you again :) :)

Dear Shadow, it’s lovely to see you here. Thank you so much for reading the poem and taking time to leave insightful comments. I’m so sorry to learn of your huge, tragic loss back in 2005. Mourning of a loved one never goes away even as the years go on. The love you felt for them, the love you still feel for them and the huge void left in your life that can never be filled will always remain as they do in precious memory. Bless you Shadow. I’m sending back even bigger, extra hugs to you xx
