How Cold Poem by Laurie hill
How Cold
How cold and dark the night,
when heavens brightest star,
is hid behind the clouds.
How chill the winds,
when summers last warm carress,
is ushered into autumn.
How raged the seas,
when tempest roared, our ship,
towards, the sandbank of tears,
How sad this broken heart
when you close the door,
for the very last time.
I like how you led with the cold and dark before introducing the broken heart. This poem reminds me once again of why i like to come and read them. Heartfelt and well expressed. Thank you.
Your work as such a gentle touch to it Laurie I dont think this is your best but I am still touched by it. I hope you never loose that gentleness that your poems carry so beautifully. You are one of my favourite poets. Regards Ann
The slow pace of this poem emphasizes the sad overtones - - the imagery is excellent...10 plus from Fay.
As I follow your writings, I notice a lot of them expressed sadness...but you're very very good at it. Another touching write! :)
You bring in the drama with each stanza. The star behind the cloud, Summers last caress, sandbanks of tears and the closed door are all strong sad images to make this poem the great one it is! 10 Karin Anderson
A feeling of impending danger - then the sadness of love, I read again and must step back and admire. I Like your style - Cindy
you paint a cold dark and stormy landscape and then lead us to the heart of the matter....nobody does it better!
