Sad Thoughts

~~ on an old bench amongst wild flowers sad thoughts come drifting ~~ lost memories entwine with tranquility as birds sing softly ~~ and a cool breeze takes my sorrow and casts it out to sea _________________________ January 30, 2015 Poetry/Sijo/Sad Thoughts Copyright Protected, ID 01-637-096-30 All Rights Reserved, 2015, Constance La France Written for the Standard contest, Glorious Sijo Fields, Visual 7 sponsor Andrea Dietrich, Judged 02/2015 Third Place

Reads like a winner..A beautiful garden can cast new light on a sad situation..Enjoyed reading your contest entry..Thanks for the visit to my page..The handyman was my husband..I think that he thought he would not live long enough to reap the rewards of not doing something correctly..Sara

A glorious poem, melancholy and yet rather freeing at the same time. The last line gives light and hope. Glorious indeed!

I need to come back again to this one, Constance, and tell you how beautifully sad, but so touching this is.And before I leave, I want to say thank you for all those past contests you sponsored, that helped me grow.Your taste in poetry, often matches my own, ..poetry that reaches the heart. Just as this one does. I haven't forgotten your many challenges, that pushed me along to become better at my craft. Thank you :)
