wistfulness - limited edition Photography by Jaroslaw Datta | Saatchi Art

“some winters will never melt some summers will never freeze and some things will only ... live in poems.” - Sanober Khan, Turquoise Silence Wishful yearnings, regrets for things wanted, or In the past are things you look back on which made you glad. Sometimes you recall those times and then you feel so sad To know they must remain in your days of yore. Forlorn you may feel, perhaps pensive, or simply pining for Unforgettable good times you once had! Like a boat, you float your longings to an empty shore.

Excellent diction. Very fitting for the word youve written this acrostic for. Especially “ pensive” “ forlorn” goes very well. This is such a heartfelt and resonating write. Absolutely stunning flow of words
