A silky poem.
Sparkling in your poem:
-stunning views.
-smooth to read
-Has refinement in tone and language that elevates thoughts.

My favourite line:
...sips of light awakened whispers of the night, giving readers the feeling of light in small doses, and night has an aura and a voice.

A poetic art tableau.

I love this poem, simply rhymed but so elegantly written and presented. It is the kind of poem that makes a reader think about all the poems read and enjoyed in the past, and this one seems to add them all together into one lovely keepsake. I enjoyed reading this SO much and hope someday I might write a poem as memorable. MM

Old writers like me, and maybe you, need glasses to see the sky of blue, for deep inside the web we seek the words that say the feelings we speak, Melissa. :) Got a buzz so there's no fuzz. I like your poem with pen in hand. Thank you for sharing, I understand.

hello my friend,
At 75 I guess I'm one of your Old Writers.
Still spirited and willing/wanting to shock, I continue to write. Sweet dreams.

I can tell how happy you are with your grand daughter and she becomes your inspiration now. Even in a poem about the weather, you can't help mentioning her.

It's nice to read your poem.

Well done.

    Hi sweet Lisa. Thank you for your lovely words... and yes, my sweet Rosalie does factor in to my verse these days. Perhaps I should write about a boy. LOL. Thanks again!!

That's so true. I guess that's what we're trying to do, share what we see and think. This is a lovely quatrain, with such good rhyming and other poetic devices. I'm never sure about consonance, I feel there's plenty here.

Another piece I understand as a member of the senior club.
My favorite line is " sunshine's warmth on graying heads."
You go girl, keep us all entertained.

Your poem read well, Melissa. I enjoyed reading it. The
rhymes worked well. The flow was smooth, and the message
was clear. Old writers all have many stories to tell. I could
see them with pen in hand doing just as you wrote--great
imagery. The image worked well, too. The leaves were
young at one time, but now they have changed with a story
of their won.
Thanks for sharing, Jan
