Notes About The Poem

Murmurs of my heart contest ~ Host: JCB Brul

                       July 12, 2023

Threads of Romance Frayed

I can still hear his voice when harsh winds blow ~ 
his murmurs once calmed my fears

Stars faded and moonlight dimmed ~ 
without romantic whispers in my ear

Twilight descended as we said sad farewells ~ threads 
of our romance frayed

Aye, BJ. It is both, and I seem to be drawn to writing about sad themes. Thank you.

Well-written Monokus, Lin. The photo matched well with the picture you've painted with your words. You say a lot with these limited words, my friend. A poet friend in Texas, Bill

Thanks for your reads and kind remarks today, Bill. I've become enamored with writing Monoku lately.
