You Impressed Me There Are Seven Days A Week

Rating: 5.0


We met somewhere in a dark corner of this uppish World
And came to know each other within a second.
Still I remember;
'What day is today? ' You inquired in a friendly way.
Then I said; 'It's Friday.'
'All right I'll see you on next Friday.'
How many Fridays were gone?
And I didn't see you anymore.
I raised my hands to the nameless sky
And whispered; 'When shall we meet again?

*............of that day or hour no one knows.

You use adjectives to dramatic and unusual effect ('uppish World' and 'nameless sky') in this fascinating poem about the power of relationships and the uncertainty of tomorrow. Another fine poem to ponder on. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
