Poem of a Memory

For you are like a summer rose
against the wind your face unfolds
nothing there is like nature chose
for the memory one remoulds,
golden sunrise upon the morn
captures the diamond on the dew
nature revels in fragrance worn
scented hint of florescent hue.

You never find it difficult to come back in all your lines, old times Harry maybe your shared ties with the great writers of the world-- what am I trying to say-- description and use of imagery, so authentic you could draw it anywhere. Playing with nature as if you created them-- powerful imagination like William words. Enjoyed......

Fantastic imagery Harry; I can not recall ever knowing such visual & metaphoric affluence in so few words - you have utilized traditional symbols in very atypical formulas which is a terament to mastery - ' against the wind your face unfolds... ' simply rich in enchantment - J.A.B. %

Why do you resent the summer rose. Just kidding, Brenda obviously left off the p on the word present. It's just funny how the meaning can be quite different with a typo. A flower delicate and pure. Survives the wind, awaits a cure. The sun and rain revive her new. To greet each day with the morning dew.
