Anna Hopper Poet Rhyme

Sudden Calm

It’s here again
Just as promised
The summer’s end
Sudden calmness

It’s only me
Between these walls 
I wait for 3:00
The minutes crawl

A sadness dwells
In the silence
Emotions swell
The aura, tense

It feels all wrong
Inside my home
My babies, gone
I’m all alone

Andrea Dietrich August 8, 2019 at 7:50 PM I love the poetic way you described this feeling that so many women can have. I was never the maternal type, so for me, that sound of silence was incredible. What fun I had all alone in my house. haha. Anyway, love this.

Gershon Wolf August 6, 2019 at 3:49 PM This touches the heart, Anna. Poignantly penned --- and resonates so! … It's not quite the same theme, but I think you'll get a rise out of a short poem by Samuel Hoffenstein, titled, 'When you're away.' Google it, and take a peek. :) gw Anna Hopper August 6, 2019 at 4:06 PM Will do, thank you!
