Aurore Severo Poet Free verse

Ninexeleven

A sunny autumn day
my blanket beneath me
over gardens grass
wine and cheese
a framed photo

flowers gently sway
in the wind
unescorted I sit
in quiet contemplation
beauty is a deception
me and my shadow know
by sleepless nights

eyes downward
staring at nothing
for nothing is all I possess
my treasure buried
on another sunny
autumn day

John Watt June 23, 2022 at 12:22 PM Aurore, this is delicate, melancholy, and beautiful all wrapped together. Your powerful word pairs "framed photo", "sleepless nights" and "treasure buried" are all powerful in their distilled meaning. Wonderful writing. Thank you for reaching out to comment at my poem, so nice to meet you at Soup today. Warm wishes ~ John

Susan Ashley April 18, 2021 at 6:54 AM Dear Aurora, the sorrow of lost love is expressed with a beauty that is deep and rich yet subtle in its tender artistry. A moving piece that allows the feelings to seep deeply into ones’s heart. Wonderful use of emotional imagery and poetic skill. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
