Poem of a Memory

For you are like a summer rose against the wind your face unfolds nothing there is like nature chose for the memory one remoulds, golden sunrise upon the morn captures the diamond on the dew nature revels in fragrance worn scented hint of florescent hue. © Harry J Horsman 2012

You never find it difficult to come back in all your lines, old times Harry maybe your shared ties with the great writers of the world-- what am I trying to say-- description and use of imagery, so authentic you could draw it anywhere. Playing with nature as if you created them-- powerful imagination like William words. Enjoyed......

Fantastic imagery Harry; I can not recall ever knowing such visual & metaphoric affluence in so few words - you have utilized traditional symbols in very atypical formulas which is a terament to mastery - ' against the wind your face unfolds... ' simply rich in enchantment - J.A.B. %

Thank you Harry, very much for the exciting comment. I like your poem of memory. I can feel the definition and structure of this memory. You painted a fine picture in my mind. Nature, how ever so wonderful. Always looking forward to your visit. These last 3 days, I have found time to sneak in so many comments, and read up on many contest winners. Just in case you are here, I'm inviting you over to my latest blog.. A happy " HI " would be nice.. xox~ ALWAYS~ PD

Why do you resent the summer rose. Just kidding, Brenda obviously left off the p on the word present. It's just funny how the meaning can be quite different with a typo. A flower delicate and pure. Survives the wind, awaits a cure. The sun and rain revive her new. To greet each day with the morning dew.
