At no time could my heart ever discern reason, Yet, I tried in the wildflower years to be smart. Nebulous weather wisely varies every season, But there is no wisdom in an enamored heart. Yet, I tried in the wildflower years to be smart. Sometimes, I really thought I had succeeded. But there is no wisdom in an enamored heart, Like a bleeding sun when day has been ceded! Sometimes, I really thought I had succeeded. We could have made beautiful music together, Like a bleeding sun when day has been ceded, And blue jays fly away with birds of a feather. We could have made beautiful music together! Nebulous weather wisely varies every season, And bluebirds fly away with birds of a feather, At no time could my heart ever discern reason.

What a wonderful piece Evelyn filled with wisdom about the irrational heart in love. Really nice piece. And I love the use of "blue" in the bluebirds to articulate the feeling of regret. A terrific poem expressing "if only" and "yeah but" perfectly. Congratulations!

Dear Evelyn, the sad beauty of lost love shines in every poetic line. I adore; "At no time could my heart ever discern reason" and "wildflower years".. so evocative of bittersweet realization and of looking back on youth's naive romantic heart. A poignant, smooth flowing pantoum. Best wishes for a win and warmest wishes for you, my friend.. ~Susan
