An Adieu To My Lady Love

My lady is the wind’s soft sigh 
through fields of marigolds in June;
a splendid sunset in July; a tranquil August lullaby.
She waltzes to a rhapsody which lingers in my memory.
When months of Winter’s chill ensue, 
I’ve bid my Lady Love adieu.

Congratulations, Andrea! I love all the metaphors you compared "My lady" to! They are beautiful references, and then you closed by creating a parallel between the winter chill being somewhat of an ending or goodbye to the good times. Excellent, as always! Much love...Meghan

Andrea, a spectacular verse. It leaves me feeling struck by beauty of the settings, and sad for the writer's departure from her. Congratulations on Top Well Deserved Win!

Andrea - I was so happy to find out this was yours ... this is just exquisite verse, and while I usually read the poem these are taken from, I don't think I want to with this, because it is just so beautiful on its own! Theme, metre, rhyme, flow, phrasing, word-use - you knocked it out of the park, and this one stood clearly above the rest. Nicely done, my friend - this is going into my faves!! Thanks for entering - this is GORGEOUS! :o) <3

Andrea, I really love this. This is so beautiful. You really are in command here. This is the kind of poetry I strive for but don't have the talent to make it happen. This is Poem of the Year stuff. Luv, Bryan
