Notes About The Poem

The Day We Met

I recollect the day we met, my dear
When the air was wintry warm and clear.
The garden was a paradise of perfume,
And many flowers were in bloom.

Daylilies and columbines flourished around the pond
And tall sedge grew here and there and beyond.
Littered everywhere were lovely lotus flowers,
Beneath goldfish and calico swam together for hours.

A small wooden bridge took us to a small bench,
So soothing I heard a waterfall drifting down a trench.
We talked and talked and knew love was there.
I promised I will always be true for I really did care.

The lovely rendezvous of your first meeting is so lucidly etched in your memory. What a fantastic place for a man and woman to meet, talk and discuss at length about their future plans. Nature's beauty abounds in your verse, dear friend.

What a priceless recollection expressed in such a sophisticated manner. The way you recall the event makes it sound as if it happened only yesterday.
