Laura Leiser Poet Quatrain

Music of Times Gone By

She wanders the halls in a world of her own
lost in an era of bygone times
with faltering steps, to the day room she goes
softly humming the tune of a lullaby.

Time rewinds, she sways 'neath his youthful gaze
his deep voice whispers into her ear
her lined face shines, frail arms raise to embrace
dancing to the music only she can hear.

CayCay Godwin October 4, 2015 at 9:25 PM We both handled this contest the same way, with insanity. I enjoyed yours, it is very pretty ... CayCay Laura Leiser October 5, 2015 at 11:06 AM Thanks for your comments, CayCay. I loved your poem, and this one was coming from the angle of a woman who has dementia, but remembers the old days well (as least that was the perspective in my mind!)

Poet Destroyer A September 30, 2015 at 9:12 PM I just read another poem, with the same line "Dancing to music only she can hear.".. I'm guessing it is for the same contest...
