Encounter

Encounter A day of mindless lonely wanderings found Me within an unfamiliar country inn set maturely in trees at a crossroad's square The lobby done in tweed and pine The club chairs large promising comfort Their arms dressed in fresh draped crewel Near the fire in a fieldstone hearth A stranger sits lithely in tailored wool and Silken blouse long legs demurely crossed above sensible mid brown walking pumps A slight handsome woman her pensive eyes in the middle distance of focused concentration She exudes a pervasive sense of boyant middle age and warm demeanour violet eyes Yardley's Lavender and rich chestnut hair My entrance brings her face and smile to mine She rises fluidly walks to me wraps both arms Around one of mine looks up into my eyes And speaks I wished you here... And here you are

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Joe, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
