Notes About The Poem

Image result for pictures of an old woman alone beside a pear tree

A Lone Soul

A green pear
 
Not hidden by leaves

At the top

So lonely

A prolific limb's product

Hangs by an aged thread

I am glad that you found this one deep. I hope you do try this form. It is easy and short, but one can put several together I suppose. Give it a try because I know you can do it. Yes you can. Thanks, Sara

That last line is a keeper, as is the entire missive Sara

A great form for this lovely poem Sara. As Rico says, the importance of the stem is often overlooked until one is hanging there! Linda

Linda, The support of the stem determines the length of the pear hanging there before it falls. Like family ties. I appreciate the uplifting review. Sara

The isolation of the green pear hanging ever so precariously from a tree with ancient lineage makes for a stellar topic in your fine posting. Moreover, the metaphorical impact of the lonely pear remains with your reader, memorably. Best wishes, Brian

Lovely metaphor, Sara. I'm sure I am the lonely pear hanging by an aged thread! i certainly have become pear-shaped!! Elizabeth

Yes, age can bring on the pear shape for sure, Elizabeth. At times, I feel like I am hanging by a thread and sometimes I feel the gather's hand is about to reach out. Thanks for the nice review of my work. Sara

I have always loved pears but never appreciated the stem before reading your poem. Well thought and done! Aloha!

Not good to eat before it becomes yellow.

Victor, I kind of like the crisp flavor of a green pear but my stomach tells me I should not go there. LOL..I still do and pay the price. Your visits are so delightful. Sara
