Evelyn Judy Buehler Poet Pantoum

Notes About The Poem

My Foolish Heart

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.

Sam Kauffman April 7, 2022 at 11:53 AM 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!

Susan Ashley April 3, 2022 at 8:47 PM 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 Evelyn Judy Buehler April 3, 2022 at 10:27 PM Susan, your words thrill and delight! Thank you so much for the encouragement of your positive comments. Blessings and hugs, Evelyn
