Autumn Interlude of Honey

Looking out the window
Of the cancer ward
I see golds and russets
Way off to the distant horizon
Nigh a breeze gently swaying life
As the sun warms all colors
With its honey glow
I let my thoughts wander
Over lush hills and fields
Till peace pervades
And together become one

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 12/12/2018 4:32:00 AM As one recovering from cancer in the hospital, the individual in this poem has a fragile quality. He/she finds strength from the view of nature that allows recovery to begin. Line, this is an incredibly amazing poem with a positive spin and the recovery process. Congratulations on your first place win! There was excellent competition, but your poem touched my heart deeply and rose to the top. Best wishes, Carolyn Login to Reply Line Gauthier Date: 12/12/2018 8:52:00 AM Thank you so much, Carolyn. I am still very much in shock at my placement.

Rhona Mcferran Date: 10/26/2018 8:29:00 AM Such a poignant image... a lovely golden fall landscape framed by a window in a cancer ward. Something about this is very hard for me to describe, but as I have been in a similar situation- I find this very moving and quietly emotional (for lack of a better term). Login to Reply Carolyn Devonshire Date: 12/12/2018 7:34:00 AM Yes, Rhona, the appealing quality of this poem is hard to describe and it's certainly moving. Line Gauthier Date: 10/26/2018 11:07:00 AM Thank you so much for you lovely visit and touching comment, Rhona. Most appreciated.
