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! © Harry J Horsman 2023

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”

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.

yet my affection, oh so slow to die! We go through so much…look forward to days of love which pass all too fast, then look into the past…still those memories keep the vision alive. God bless you, Harry!

Beautiful wording! 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
