A Clairvoyant. Comments
I can see your boarding house now,
A spacious, two-storied bungalow
That overlooked the blue-water harbour.
Your rambling house had good prospects.

A thoughtful reminder of the fact that our lives are not a culmination of a series of events, but a product of the people we encounter as a result
This is a pleasant surprise for me, that you have tracked down this particular poem, not a new one.
this is an insightful & delightful glimpse of your past, obviously an important part of it. thanks for sharing. it has reminded me of two 'elderly' (the age i am NOW) women who were landladies in different houses i lived in, one before i married & the other after my 1st marriage fell apart. Both were 'characters', friendly, and, at times, good company. but they did not have 'the gift' that i know of. bri :) :)
Thanks for looking at a memory poem, which I wrote some years ago. As a student, I lived in quite a few boarding houses. This person is the landlady I remember.
Nicely penned, I think she would be happy to know that you have such lovely memories of her and wrote this poem and called her an angel. We encounter angels at different points in our lives, or we ourselves are angels to others. others.
Thanks for your assessment of quite an old poem of mine. We do, fortunately, meet a few angels in life.
So beautiful expressed and read with enormous interest. We do not meet many such as this inspirational and spiritual woman. How we wish they were always in our lives.
Thanks for reading and making your fine assessment. Your comment is so right, unfortunately.
the woman really was good heart by born; your poetic expression is really superb on the remembrance life; I enjoyed
I think that is because I was happy there, and succeeded in the MA French exams. Thanks for assessing this.
It is so nice when others realty care and direct us. A fulfilling poem.
This landlady was a caring, intuitive person, someone I will never forget. I wish I could meet her again. Thanks.
Beautiful lines: : For you were a spiritualist, a medium: You were in touch with the other side. You spoke of the light or dark aura I had. An aura of happiness: an aura of dejection...thanks
Thanks so much for your comment and quoting probably the best lines in the long-ago poem.
Many times we succeed just because someone else believes that we can. A very touching poem. Thanks for sharing.
Your thoughts on succeeding because someone else believes in us is very apt. Thanks.
A great tribute to your landlady indeed who was much more than that- an inspiration and a motivating force. How nice that you acknowledge it 'Thanks partly to you, I did graduate then'. Thanks. For you were a spiritualist, a medium: You were an angel and I know your spirit lives.
Beautiful poem! Sometimes people come into our lives not to stay forever but just until they teach us a lesson we need to learn about our self: that we would overlook otherwise. Thank you.
She was Mrs. Rennie of 2 Waitemata Street, Herne Bay. She was, and is, unforgettable.
A truthful aspect of your life expressed beautifully, people that inspire and care certainly make a mark, wonderful poem, Thanks for sharing
Thank you very much for noticing the contours of this poem. I will catch up with your poems.
Rambling house had good prospects.It was a case of upstairs, downstairs. Spiritualist saw the theme of mystery of spirit. Spirit lived because she was an angel. A Clairvoyant's prediction was wonderful. This poem mesmerized mind. A poem very well expressed! ..10
Thank you so much for your comment and appreciation of the poem. You are right- it is rare to find someone who believes in you. I was lucky.
You never know where someone who believes in you comes from..good poem congratulations on poem of the day..a ten from me..
A lovely poem about kindness and support from an interesting lady. Congratulations Michael for a well deserved award poem of the day.
I am humbled and surprised by this choice and I appreciate your comment too.
It's the humane nature, particularly poets possess, what makes the writer to remember his boarding mistress with passion. Well presented story of a hearty relationship. Congrats for being the member's PoD.
Yes I do remember this boarding mistress with passion-with love and clarity after forty years. Thanks Jayatissa.
