A somber day, in early Spring ...
that might be winter, were it colder ...
some warmer days perchance will bring
a ray of hope 'ere we grow older.
What use to dwell on might have beens
and chances lost and gone forever,
while brooding love, all unrequited,
could be recalled, but shall be never?
Now all those times and days have fled;
and who knows why, and who knows where?
But life goes on, so search for love,
fan the spark and let it flare.
If only there could be a way
to turn back time and stop the clock ...
to freeze for all eternity
that love, in flowing, molten rock.
Please tell me what you think?

I like the poem a lot and I am giving it 3 applause but I have to remove it because it is outside the 20 to 40 line requirement for this contest. Sorry. Good work. If you have something that the rules allow, please post that.

Wow, pretty much speechless
Such a natural flowing style
And what use to dwell indeed

I would wish you good luck but...you sure as heck don't need it!

send you a link to a page with French accent marks? When I had to wipe the hard drive, I lost the link. -
The host ...
may not like rhyme.

Ahh, if only I had kept up my French, I had to check that out (but what a wonderful little phrase).

If only ...
yes, that's the epitome of poignant.
Thanks for stopping by and for the kind words. The poem is about my mother's Aunt Bess who died of cancer. -

You and everyone who was affected has my condolences. And although not an obvious tribute, it is a wonderul one nonetheless.
