A Penny For Your Thoughts

"The best things in life come in threes . . . friends, dreams and memories" Author unknown _____________________ Old and new friends are gems to cherish in my heart, In my darkest hours friends have held me close; Although in time we may be miles and miles apart They have listened with tears to my sad grieving prose. All my days are reverie and my nights lost in dreams, And with my dripping pen I create my poetry; With dream inspired words, lines, emotions and themes, Sorrow has made me the poet I was meant to be. Ah, memories, memories so bittersweet, In my mind I see our old house amongst the trees; I have memories of mom's tangled garden seat, Of bright, heavenly flowers waving in the breeze. And through the years I have learned life is deep, Entangled with friends, dreams and memories to keep. ______________________________ March 14, 2015 Poetry/Sonnet/A Penny For Your Thoughts Copyright Protected, 03-653-995-14 All Rights Reserved, 2015, Constance La France For the Standard contest, A Penny For Your Thoughts, sponsor, Sara Kendrick, Judged 04/2015 Third Place

Hi! My name is Eve and I am a 9th grade high school student. I am doing a project for my English class that requires I have 5 outside author poems. I thought this one was really beautiful and would love to put it in my project. Would you mind?

Dear BW, Your talent for imagery and emotive poetry shines in this lovely sonnet. Sometimes we get "tangled" in memories themselves and it's hard to let go of them. It surely helps to hear from friends, even those who live far away. Wishing you success in Sara's contest! (I'm doing as best I can now.) Love and blessings, Carolyn
