a note in sepia











dear Winston,

when you ask
for one more under-the-stars-moment
or another of your damned see-you-in-the-moons

just remember this poem: a portrait
that still cracks the wall

    Namita this is spectacular, a perfect dear poem. You manage to show a hush of imagery within the words. Each line has something to offer, very very beautiful.

    Excellent write young lady

    I love the changes you've made here, Namita. This is beautiful and a very poetic note!!

    I agree with my Guy here below... i too would remove "that" - and also perhaps put the last line as one sentence to stay within the 6 lines limit - but those are minor "thingies".

    Stellar poetry, indeed. Thank you for this entry.

    you always amaze me with your blend of 1,000 year old wisdom and 14 year old innocence.

    my only criticism would be to remove the word 'that' before 'still cracks'

    a portrait
    still cracks
    the wall

    still, it's darn good either way

    stellar

    thanks for entering
