Autumn Friends Poem by Sandra Fowler

Autumn Friends

Rating: 5.0


If one could bridge the distance with a word,
A journey would become a pilgrimage.
Elegant letters slant across the page.
My leaf has found a home upon your coat.

My kind critic, I think it is our fate
To meet in stanzas of my poetry.
Simile and metaphor must be our bond
Until autumn blows one of us away.

Our rare rapport is irreplacable.
Old moods glimmer on sills like fallen stars.
My little leaf says thank you every day.
It comforts me to know it traveled safe.

'With my compliments to Mukund Dave for
all his eloquent reviews'

trust, rapport, respect, feeling of security are the stuff friendships and all relationships are based on, and the journey becomes sacred like a pilgrimage. I can almost see you with your pen poised on paper, love in your heart, and serenity in your spirit when you write Sandra. as always a classic, each line a memorable one. Mamta
