April Is Cruel

Wind whipped waves assault the shore. Gray spray spurts, showers the steps and the path we used to walk, each time, before I left you in the glistening city. Cold clouds have swallowed the skyline. Always difficult, saying goodbye is harder today. 4/25/2018

Seeing this one again, I just really love it, Agnes. Not for any contest? I wish I was inspired to write poems not for contests!!

Thanks, Andrea. I find that lately, the contest prompts have not spoken to me. I have only been able to write about hings that really moved me. I hope to get more writing done over the summer; the past few weeks were very busy and I was not in the right space.

Pictures and poem with a bit of shadow eave the mind to wonder and wander. Well done Agnes.

I love how you've left the type of goodbye up to the heart of each reader Agnes. Very beautiful.

Thank you, FJ. I like to leave some ambiguity; as a reader, I prefer poems that leave me some room to fill with my own meaning, not the ones that spell out every detail. Thank you for your visit.
