Misty Blues

Oh, trees of once so forest green now shrouded to me in pale hues as my hearts reflection of blues mirrors a lifeless figurine Pray hide from me sunbursts of glow for the sky is of mist alone and where I roam as cold as stone all thoughts run deep and overflow Shadowy shaped vapours haunt me with your gaze of cerulean blue and if to feel your touch I drew my hand that longed the touch of thee All worn paths I fear now to tread for there are haunting scents of you that so relentlessly pursue a heart that’s already long dead All alone as teardrops of blue and misty, hazy dreams of you float away once more out of view forsaking what my heart once knew

This poem is a deeply emotional exploration of loss and longing. Through its use of vivid imagery, evocative language, and the symbolism of nature and colour, it creates a poignant narrative of a heart overwhelmed by sorrow. The themes of haunting memories and isolation are skillfully conveyed, leaving a lasting impression of melancholy and introspection.

Christina, you captured the essence of grief that could apply to a loss of a loved one. This is so intense that it invokes a sense of deep sadness in my mind and opens up thoughts of all kinds of losses that we must face in life. We only hope that there is some joy left to offset the downsides of life.

Christina Bowring

Dear Duke, great to have you visit as always. Thank you for sharing your valued thoughts and for the encouraging support. So appreciated my friend. I hope there is always much joy in your life. Blessings to you :)

I rarely view replies to my comments but I happened to see that you asked me what "only A forms" means. It means forms that begin with A. For example: acrostic or abc form, etc. I used acrostic if you are referring to a contest by Constance. Her latest contest features B forms and there are hardly any. Blitz and blank verse. That's about it. You can find types of forms at the top of poetrysoup home page

Dear Christina, I apologize for not previously acknowledging your beautifully crafted poem that delves into themes of loss, longing, and sadness. Your poignant exploration of heartbreak and solitude, as well as the lingering memories of a past relationship, is both moving and captivating. The emotive language you employ effectively conveys a sense of melancholy and yearning. The imagery you use, including words like "shrouded," "reflection of blues," "shadowy shaped vapors," and "teardrops of blue," evokes feelings of sorrow and longing. Your incorporation of color imagery, such as "pale hues" and "cerulean blue," enhances the emotional depth of the poem.

Christina Bowring

Your encouraging and supportive visits are always so uplifting and inspiring to us all. Thank you so much for your careful and thoughtful analysis here once again. Heartfelt thanks and blessings to you.
