Like the wind breathes upon the leaves
Behind are left sweet memories
You live in my heart, soul and mind
In the world you own, now left behind

A beautifully written piece Lorraine, a pleasure to read. Best wishes, Andrew
Intensely beautiful! Vivid and descriptive, I can feel sadness and strength in it. There is a hint of understanding and acceptance, but also of wonder. Very, very good. DC
Phillip, My poem is about the wind and the yearning to be free.I've never been a drifter so it would be difficult to write from that perspective.
While I stumble a bit over the last two lines, I find the whole idea of this piece enchanting! I wonder if you have written another perhaps, from the drifter's point of view?
top marks for a wonderful poem, you captured everything so beautifully!
Now, this is what I call 'simply beautiful'. It is full of tender emotions of the persona. The touch of pure sincerity and caress that reaches out to humanity. A 10 for you my friend.
A 'drifter' is by nature......a drifter....and..therefore....may return....someday. And then?
This song to a drifter is a special thing. I would have given it a 10 if it was perfect. It wasn't, so it only gets a 9. GW62
another beautiful interlude.I perceive you are a true women in the classic sense.Today 'A pearl of great price'
Beautiful and wistful poem. If you love someone set them free......but it does it open-ended for him to come back. I like your writing style. Thanks for sharing.
Good Poem. I really like the standard verse. I an not very good at it myself. I think I do well with free verse but then everyone things they do well with free verse. But when i try to write a structured poem as you have, mine seem to sound like second graders wrote it. Good Job.
Oh! How I love the thought of being unanchored. I can smell the salty air and feel the sea breaze blowing through my hair as I watch the distant sails of his boat become smaller and smaller. Beautiful poem. You have captured so much and this gypsy drifted away on the poems emotions and imagery.Thank You
