A poet is one who can, if he/she so wishes, extract some oil from a grain of sand. Rose Marie is one such poet, this poem proves it. Here she has extracted life out of a mere handkerchief. A fabulous poem

Though life has given her tough times and she has shed tears many a time, altogether she is happy! She doesn't complain to anybody. The kerchief with her comes to her aid whenever an unpremeditated tear trickles down her cheeks. The ornately decorated kerchief, hiding in the pocket of dress is more or less a constant companion to her when other friends desert her! A life of pain and joy is masterfully delineated here!

Tears and handkerchief are the most famous tools for women who want to achieve what they have intended. Great.

Rose Marie, every stanza stands out in this poignant write. The last stanza turns the poem on its head.+++10 Ps two words run together in stanza 5. Last stanza, substitute held for hold.

I was astonished and mesmerized to read this beautiful poem. I think its not the beauty of a handkerchief, its touch of a beautiful hand that puts life in it. What a beautiful poem!

Cotton handkerchief is really lovely that is hiding in pocket. White is purest colour that touches mind. Gray carpeted the sky. Crowning glory in beautiful face is nice. She has no more tears is wise definitely. An amazing poem is beautifully penned....10
