A lilac for the anonymity,
Of Mrs. Hinkle's simple poetry.

‘…A touch of soul is music to the bone, /Even after every wing has flown.’ A finest poetic tribute to Julia Ann Hinkle 1846-1908…..a touch of music to bone…..oh excellent just into marrow…thrilling and shuddering by the composition…if I were like Ma’am Ms. Nivedita UK PS 10+

Bless Mrs. Hinkle, Sandra, and bless you. You shine on a hill of your own, an inspiration to poets world-wide.
The subtle sun through ancient maple leaves, Paints memory with a gentleness that grieves. A touch of soul is music to the bone, Even after every wing has flown. Harmoniousness of your single note is like a symphony. Anonymity disclosed with respect and honour. Beautiful acknowledgement for a beautiful soul. You are very kind, Sandra. Best Regards Naseer
a beautiful poem for a beautiful poet..well penned..10++++
Reverence penned with beauty and gentle respect. Your single note must be the oboe - the instrument that tunes the whole orchestra; the instrument that Bach uses so sweetly in so many of his Cantata obligatos. Her name, Mrs. Hinkle, reminds me of Mrs. Tiggy Winkle (my favorite Beatrix Potter character) . Your 'touch of soul is music to the bone' is particularly evocative. love, Alison ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
