Cloud Moods Comments

I know I will make poetry again, But who will chafe my heart when you are gone? I am moved!

clouds are the best painters of nature........ we are mere soot.........

Hauntingly beautiful, a perfect blend of drab grey imagery matching the question of sadness Each line capitvates, Thanks for this read Sandra - very well written

Let me see..... Poems, perhaps?

The cloud mood of this poem certainly makes a stunning backdropp for goodbye. As do does the falling soot and stove lids. The imagery is stunning and haunting....10 Karin Anderson

An interesting poem. Nicely composed.

Fascinating achievement. All the emotions of parting and attendant sorrow are conveyed through physical images of soot and smoke. A paragon of metaphorical expression.

A chuckle to help me start the tedium of the day and a great question: Who will chafe my heart when you are gone ? Bil Grace

Another wonderful poem with masterful imagry, a treasure indeed as all of your work Sandra.--Melvina--

So. The first piece that you posted here, date-wise, is every bit as stunning and perfectly atmospheric, perfectly telling as the most recent. Why does this not suprise me? ! Hat off to you, lovely lady. t x

Love your work Sandra... you are a wonderful artist

Your poem is melancholy and grey and yet it shines with an inner light that warms the reader's heart. I see this one in charcoal with a touch of amber crayon. A fine poem from a fine wordsmith. love, Allie xxxxxxxx

just beautiful sandra, well penned.

Wonderful imagery here, Sandra: The opening reminds me of LS Lowry's portrayals of the North of England, and the latter embraces the love that we have for our families, and the need to covet all, and resist change/loss in our contented lives. Fine work...as ever :) jack.

This is such a sad poem, the last two lines are really haunting. Beautiful use of imagery.

Sandra, a wonderful piece of work; crafted by a poet of great skill. Too many great lines...that make it so hard to pick a favourite. Regards, Ian

Sandra I had read this before but may be I did not comment on it, the lines you have written are just so perfect, I loved the lines about the chimney stack, I was thinking about the children going up the chimnys (child Labour) how important this poem is to people like us who can read through the lines and see a different world.This poem has everything for me and it is a beautiful piece of work. cheers Sylvie.

I love roofs are a mirror to the smoke.. I can see that you are truly a poet at heart, and I will read more of your work. I hope you can check some of mine, when you can too. Sincerely, Linda

Sandra~ Wow! I’m so thankful that you happened to read one of my poems because I haven’t read any of your work yet! I absolutely love the imagery in this poem. My favorite stanza is, “The soot is falling like night colored snow I feel its weight like stove lids on my eyes. I know I will make poetry again, But who will chafe my heart when you are gone? “ This is so wonderful! I really found myself relating to this poem. The imagery here is just marvelous; o) You get a 10 from me! :)

What gentle precious feelings this lovely poem engenders Phil
