How can I write a shadow beautiful?
It is elusive, haunting as old verse.
The wind transcribes the dusk upon pale leaves.
I touch your hand to prove the mood is real.

So tenderly written Sandra, I felt the evening breeze as shadows fall. A very beautiful piece. Love, Andrew x
How can you write an elusive shadow beautiful? you just did Sandra. Superb!
So well worded, so drawn into the poignancy of this piece, a love poem of the deepest kind. thank you. Best wishes always from Fay.
lingering memories…well, the mind needs no words sound or visuals to transcribe them into you…a poem praising the shadows of real happy moments...
There is a saying 'Chasing the crooked shadow.' shadows do not reflect real things as they are but distortions of real things. So you can't say shadow is beautiful. When you say no sound is needed to configure song, does it become a shadow of the song or an abstract idea? Of course, for writing a song no sound is required, what I mean. Your poetical way of telling such things gives several interpretations in one's mind. Well done!
You, are a 'Beautiful' writer......Magnificent...........marci. :)
Hell, Sandra. On revisiting. A piece that is... utterly yours, and couldn't be bettered. Why would you wish to write like anybody else? No: the other way round. t xxx
This poem is wonderfully sublime...definitely a favorite of mine from the Sandra Fowler stock.
Pure beauty releases from the shadows at i read this poem..... Lovely piece (as always) Hugs Nix xx
This is a most shadow beautiful! Your use of nature that just pulls the reader into the mood outstanding! Loving your work as always Sandra, Hugs, Diane
this is emotionally incredible... I love that you're speaking to someone a ' friend' leaves the reader wanting more. always, Amberlee
A whisper, a prayer, a moment of tenderness - touch, sight and sound echo always in your verse. This poem brought tears to my eyes - blessed tears, that soothe the soul. Without shadow, light would be invisible. Truly, a wonderful blend of music, color, sound and soul.
There are lovers that we meet and can't forget, lovers separated by time as well, you're poetry is the sadness of my heart, maybe we will be lovers yet in some place divorced from time. Uriah
Imagery that resounds, hauntingly beautiful words that echo. I love how you use nature and the elements to create such timeless moods and moments. Justine
A true pleasure to read this wonderful poem, a flower from a Fowler
Full of beauty and pleasure. I like your choice of words especially 'touch' and 'linger'. Can our memories be only shadows that linger still?
You depiction of the Shadow beautiful is amazing. I love this piece, it's beautiful, I expecially love the last line (No sound is needed to configure song.) that is so true Sandra, so true. Another great poem by one of the masters on this site. Thankyou for the joy Sandra.--Melivina--
I hear your song with melody unwritten. How powerful and captivating!
This is like a harp playing in the soul
