Harry Horsman Poet Free verse

Woopa Bank

I can tell by your face
the clouds intimidate, when weeping,
one look into your soul
tells one how you are keeping.
Oppressive droops the raindrops
wrenched from the saddest sky,
tormented the grey mist swirls
yet my affection, oh so slow to die!
I still see the summer breeze dance
within your tolerant chaste,
till autumn’s manipulation long past,
and quaking trees stand bare.
Throughout my life I recall
blue skies, sunrise ablaze,
one day to recollect again
in this place, where we both were raised!

Patrick Cornwall April 2, 2023 at 9:55 PM Lovely Horseman and reminds me of my love of Poetry and why it takes brilliance to such heights by and by. Harry all I can say is from The Sun Also Rises,”Rather!” When Brett was asked if she wanted a martini. That’s what I’d say about this writing of yours. “ Rather”

Jennifer Proxenos March 24, 2023 at 9:50 AM You are an absolute magic poet whose intense reminiscing creates heartfelt emotions with the one you love and always did love and who will always remain very dear to you - your memories locked into chambers of your mind never to be lost. Hugs and blessings - Jennifer.
