Lin Lane Poet Sijo

Notes About The Poem

Sijo contest sponsored by Andrea Dietrich  ~  January 17,  2024

Standing on a Footbridge

While standing on a footbridge, I sang lyrics to our love song.
I felt you take my hand in yours - as if you were at my side.
Raindrops fell on my cheeks, bringing me back to reality.

Tom Cunningham January 17, 2024 at 8:16 AM A sujo tinged with sadness, we all drift with our thoughts sometimes then something brings us back to reality. Good luck and hope you're feeling better. Tom Lin Lane January 17, 2024 at 9:02 AM Yes, we do, Tom. No way to prevent them from flitting in and out of our minds. Thanks a bunch.

Mark Koplin January 17, 2024 at 7:38 AM Good luck with this one in the contest, Lin. You write sadness from your heart. Lin Lane January 17, 2024 at 9:01 AM There's sadness in all of us for some reason(s) or another, Mark. Mine do all too often follow that melancholy path. Thanks.
