Joanna Daniel Poet Quatrain

Listen to poem:

Remember Me

Remember me through poetry
For poesy's my legacy
Poems for you I leave behind
Engage your heart, your soul and mind

Remember me, when the wind laughs
For there, I've left my autographs
When the zephyr tickles your cheek
Memories will flow, hear me speak

Remember me, when seasons shift
In recollections, catch my drift
When Summer turns to Winter pale
I'll be there in the stormy gale

Remember me, when music flows
A part of life in highs and lows
I am the unsung song you hear
That timid voice, now loud and clear

Remember me, when sunrays dance
Don't forget me, give me a glance
I'm the light in dappled shadows
The sparkle in sunlit meadows

Remember me, when the rain pours
In the drizzle, I am all yours
Catch me in reminiscences
I've crossed the murky distances

Remember me, when flowers bloom
When their aroma fills the room
I'm alive in each open bud
I'm the crimson rose's lifeblood

Remember me in silent nights
When darkness overcomes the lights
I'm the shine of the farthest star
The moonbeams prancing from afar

Remember me, forget me not
I am the story and the plot
In every twist of your old book
I am hidden, just take a look

In every word that you spell out
I'm the whisper, no need to shout
People will say, "Just leave her be"
But I tell you, "Remember me".

CayCay Godwin June 26, 2026 at 11:34 AM EXCELLENT, my emotional side and my poetry love both soared with the beauty in the flow, the simple rhymes delivering complexities by each lines end and emphatically radiating with confidence about what they are saying. The last stanza sealed the wonderful poem BEAUTIFULLY, IMPACTFULLY and delighted me. I think I've told you this before; where you were once a very good poet, you are now, and have been for some time, an excellent poet consistently delivering same. No pressure, Joanna. CONGRATS

Sotto Poet June 25, 2026 at 11:28 AM This is my fave, Joanna. Many of your words were really touching to me. The essence of the subject was perfectly captured. Congratulations on winning the trophy!

Silent One June 25, 2026 at 10:14 AM You have written so many wonderful lines using subjects that we remember people by... like nature, music, scents the weather and of course flowers... Congratulations on your deserving first place in my contest...

Silent One June 25, 2026 at 10:12 AM You had me from the first sentence.. Is that not what all poets want? For their poetic legacy to be remembered? That is why we use places like poetry soup as anthology, so when we are gone, our ancestors can read our words and maybe then they may understand, as poetry is normally that what we cannot speak... Wow, Joanna, this is a fave for me... Loved so many lines in your poem... You captured the essence of the theme perfectly and it was like you wrote how I felt.. Joanna Daniel June 29, 2026 at 6:29 PM Thank you very much, SO:) a pleasant surprise to win the trophy:) praise the Lord:)

Gary Radice June 23, 2026 at 3:22 AM It's a lovely poem for sure Joanna. I took a listen to the generated song and it adds a new dimension to it all. Good luck in the contest. Cheers - Gary
