Notes About The Poem

The Starlit Tear




    Sun,  so tired, into the Pacific, now doth take its rest.
    While the cold, homeless, head for hooded, warm tents.

     The melancholy, grateful poetess, joyful to see the moon,
     Observing its silvered reflection, in an indigo-magic lagoon.

      Pondering, how very far away, her true love doth dwell.
      A crystal, starlit tear falls, whispers back, that all is well!

Congrats on POTW too! To be honest, I never knew there was one for the week until recently. Way to go, it is an honor.

Panagiota Romios

February 21, 2024 at 6:39 AM

First of all, David, thank you for your congratulations! It says more about you than me. To me., when you honor another poet, that’s bigger than the honor itself of getting a POTD.. I think more of a commentator than me,It’s OK didn’t know there was a POTW. There’s plenty here I do not know.. And,,I’ve been here for years consistently. I don’t write to win. POTW or POTD’s I see as recognition, plain and simple, that is exciting! So thank you! Pangie xx 6;30am.

February 15, 2024 at 11:34 AM

JOHN! hello! I see nothing sad in this one.I guess because I think of sadness in It!!. I even stated in line 2 ” ,,,the grateful poetess, “joyful to see the moon.ie,, She was not crying in her beer over the man that got away. She was just thinking of ollover. She was not sobbing in distress. He happened to jump into her mind, LOL. I do not like victim or weepy poems about love.I like those who move on))Pangie.

Dear Pangie, this is such a heavenly write starting straight away with the beautiful title. I love that, ‘ The starlit tear,’ The picture you chose is absolutely perfect to accompany the poem. The imagery you describe is divine, ‘silvered reflection, indigo - magic lagoon, starlit tear.’ So lovely. I love the melancholy as thoughts of her love float across the ocean wondering the distance of their separation and yet through the silence, the peace, the magic of the night tells her that all is well.

Panagiota Romios

February 9, 2024 at 10:36 AM

I liked this poem, especially the last line that all will be well. It sheds light on those who have no home.

Panagiota Romios

February 5, 2024 at 7:57 PM

Hi friend, Hilda! I hope this week spread out well for you. Mine did, this is a humble poem.. I’m not into re-creating Shakespeare.., nor could I. And I have a very short attention span. I don’t know why but I do.. I have to accept myself as is and try to be another.. we each have vaied strengths. Thank you, dear one Pangie xx
