Jan Allison Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

 

I Miss You By My Side - Verso Contest

She’ll never give up hope
He will return
Searching all avenues
Calling his name
Longing to hear his voice
Full of concern
Since Rover slipped the lead
Life’s not the same!

James Fraser November 21, 2015 at 2:04 PM I see the images differently. I see the missing off a different loved one purely by what she wears. A love never coming home from a conflict. All the same, I like it // hugs // James xx Jan Allison November 21, 2015 at 6:04 PM Thanks James - I like your take on the images - it was quite a challenging form if I remember correctly and needed strict syllable count:-) hugs Jan xx
