- I Tried To Say -

On a cloud I wrote - I love you
                                       But the cloud blew away
                                    On a tree I wrote - I love you
                                  But someone cut down the tree
                          In the sand on the beach I wrote - I love you
                                 But the waves wiped them away
                                 In the wind, I cried - I love you
                      But the wind was too strong and no one could hear
                               In a small letter I wrote - I love you
                             But I never posted it - it was never sent
                                      But you know - I love you
                                    and my heart belongs to you

What a sweet sentiment, Anne-Lise. I loved the imagery of the cloud, the tree, the sand. Very nice.

First of all, this is catchy as well as breath-taking. I could imagine doing every line. It also reminds me of life these days, it is like I'm writing "on a cloud, in the sand or on the wind". I "post" to Life, but others... Thank you for visiting my poetry site today. Rainbow.

Hi Anne Lise, I have to say that this is one of the most beautiful pieces of poetry I have seen on soup. The simplicity and elegance of the phrasing is breathtaking. "On a cloud I wrote - I love you But the cloud blew away". Hunting words. into favs and a 7 love Shane xxx
