Notes About The Poem

For Bitesize Contest No116 Poetry Contest sponsored by Line Gauthier

Bone Song

A gentle breeze carried the tune 
of a lady gone too soon. 
I listened to it longingly until,
inside my bones, it caused a chill;
and then blew my dreams through other bones,
across centuries of dulcet tones.

Hmm. It can't be coincidence that I'm reading this poem two days after the death of a mid-90's 'iron lady' named Ruth Teren, with whose sons, Larry and Moshe, I have been friends for decades.

I didn't know here and googled her, didn't find much, but it seems like she was from Chicago. Is that your locale?

What a creative "Bone Song" write you have here. Tell the grim reaper guy off. Stay far away. Have a fun weekend writing away.............
