Paulette Calasibetta Poet Rhyme

A Place I Use To Know

Peeking, purple, petals, poking through the grass,
             Snowdrops dangling, creamy white through an ivy mass.
             Time worn stairs, foot prints with a face,
             Leading to a wooden porch;
             A slouch, a tilt, a timeless grace.

Paula Goldsmith March 11, 2022 at 12:54 PM Your "A Place I Use To Know" write is filled with memories. Great memories are the best kind to have. A wonderful write. Have a blessed day............ Paulette Calasibetta March 11, 2022 at 2:32 PM Thanks Paula~yes, I visited a woman many years ago, the truest picture of a sweet gentle woman, slouched with age. When I arrived, she asked if I had seen the Snowdrops in her garden.She was an inspiration to me, every time I visited. :)Paulette

Indiana Shaw March 7, 2022 at 2:56 PM Sometimes bite-size captures a whole course, and that first line, what a lovely starter, and the last lines a meal well enjoyed . . . ; ) Paulette Calasibetta March 7, 2022 at 3:58 PM So glad you enjoyed this. I did not place in the contest, but I enjoyed writing it. :)Paulette

L Milton Hankins March 3, 2022 at 9:54 AM Beautiful. Fine imagery. I think this might have been your old homeplace? Paulette Calasibetta March 3, 2022 at 10:13 AM Thank you Milton~ This is a home where I visited with an elderly lady who always inspired me. One day, when I visited,she asked if I had noticed her lovely Snowdrops (flowers), at the entrance....of course I did....and so the poem came to life. :)Paulette
