Judith Angell Meyer Poet Free verse

I Miss You

Oh this winter;
Begone
The cold made bitter with a relentless wind;
Begone

Please, Spring, push
it back
Lean, shove, melt
it back

Summer warmth
I miss you
Severe clear days
I miss you

Horses hot breath,
Smell of rain,
I miss you.

Lazy river,
lulling heart beats
into a molasses dream.
A stick with a leaf sail
steers through diamonds
as the sun-sparkles reflect
off the idle meandering purposeless river.

I miss you.

Cynthia Ferguson September 20, 2014 at 5:07 AM that is the sweetest little poem ever :) Judith Angell Meyer September 20, 2014 at 1:26 PM Thank you so much Cynthia. Your comment sent me back to read it again. And it fits my current melancholy ... ~J~

Daver Austin September 15, 2014 at 3:16 PM I especially like the last group. Good stuff. Congrats on the selection. daver Judith Angell Meyer September 15, 2014 at 3:35 PM Always thought this poem was a little thin. So, the last verse made it come together some better. I too, like the last 'group.' With a little work, it would make two nice Haiku. ~J~

Have a lovely weekend....:) Judith Angell Meyer January 27, 2012 at 12:37 PM Sorry I missed this when you wrote it. Would love to be at this river right now instead of the wind and bitter cold outside today. Thank you James. ~J~

Charlene Bird May 8, 2009 at 8:26 PM The seasons of a love shared perhaps? This is very sweetly written with all the sadness splashed in there too.

Rp Kumari April 10, 2009 at 3:49 PM I love this poem, i wonder are you missing the weather or soemeone who you shared time with all year round?

Sharon Winter April 6, 2009 at 11:30 AM This is truly beautiful, and somehow I get the feeling you miss more than the upcoming season. Love that amazing last verse. Noticing Trudy's comment, hope you are well Judith. So great to read you. Love, Shar
