Bite size Poem. No.71 Poetry Contest

Sponsor- Line Gauthier

A melancholic longing for times gone A resounding echo that is calling A mirage of the desert That eludes the riders of the caravan And excites the loner like an oasis in wilderness

I'm in awe of this masterpiece micro write crafted with sheer brilliance.. You've such a unique way of conveying deep emotions that touch the reader's heart in a very evocative and soulful way! Your writes are the source of discovering the essence of human feelings and I can definitely relate with this one a lot. Often, being swayed in the breezes of the past nostalgia, we feel lost and gloomy, thinking that an echo is calling us behind, "like an oasis in wilderness" Absolutely stunning :)

Like an oasis in wilderness! I love that line, in 6 lines you’ve delivered such deeply moving emotions and thoughts in such sheer eloquence. Sometimes we all go through those melancholic moments where we wish and think of days gone. I have those moments too. I really love also the line “ a mirage of the desert” you are such a gifted poetess that can express feelings we all have in such a profound manner. Goodluck for the contest .

Yes, calling a mirage in the desert. I closed my eyes the other night and immediately woke back up as my mom came walking toward me clear as day. I hadn’t dreamt of her for awhile. You are such a great poet! One of my favorites!
