'It rains in my world, Friend, the same as yours. How wonderfully put - a Scent of Gray giving off a feeling of softness - a wrapping for love

you paint a picture with your words. loved this poem

Oh my, this has so much depth that at first read I can't take it all in. Sandra, it's right what David says, each line carries such weight. The last part really sings out the pain on your separation. This truly resonates. HG: -) xx

Sandra I love your writing! ! ! I agree that content is extremely important to a poem, yet often I look more at style (maybe its the musician in me) ..the reason i loved this one so much is that each line was a new sentence, almost like a chant..sentences often ended in words with 'f' too, i don't know of that was concious or uncious, but it gave it repeating characteristics that played into the chant...your really an excellent writer, not that you need me to tell you that, just thought you should know 10/10

Sandra-your poem is very beautiful. I had vivid imagery in my mind as I read it. I feel as you do, and enjoy communicating with people from other parts of the world. I find that we all more or less think in the same basic way. Wonderful poem. kate

Sheer beauty exists in this heartfelt poem Sandra, I thoroughly enjoyed the read. Melvina

I love the last stanza, particularly the lines, ' It has been awesome to touch souls with yours, ' and 'It rains in my world, Friend, the same as yours.' Warmest regards, William

A sensory delight - where the beauty in amongst the sadness and the solitude shines through... picture perfect imagery that combines the elements and the emotions with a delicacy that sets the mood to this piece that doesn't fade...and a scent of grey that lingers...j xx

You plumb the depths of the poetic in this melancholy poem which blends the personal, the seasonal and the spiritual with seamless ease. The iambic pentameter which is your hallmark gives a distinctive flow to the poem, and yet, it is subtly different from all the others. Like the works of Bach, the reader recognizes your poetry and yet rejoices in the 'new' each time. love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

How beautifully you paint a mood. It seems like all your poems have such a peaceful flow.

The swishing of the rain on the roof has been compared to a whisper that has the power to shatter. There is an immense solitude in this poem, but a lot of power too, and at the time one senses an inner strength. Lovely poem.

wow liked a lot great job!

Please pardon the colloquialism, but this just about blows me out of the water. You've been graced with a most special vision to both insightfully recognize and macroscopically express life's subtle, almost imperceptibly changing metamorphic flow through time. 'A Scent of Gray' certainly challenges, yet far beyond the wonderment, in answer, lies the wondrous. Although the moroseness of resignation is palpable in vivid suggestion, I feel it somehow comforting to reflect upon the sharing of experience and the emotionally unbreakable bands that bond. In this very real sense, I find a compelling spirituality. From a purely personal perspective, three reads on, I can note that the day's been long, and though I'm wet, I thank God I've a hand to hold! And nihilistic? Not at all... some doors remain intentionally ajar. I'm deeply appreciative of this captivating, unabashedly honest, sensitive, and masterfully done poem!
