Rebecca has asked us to write a poem of 14 lines. It is a give away what country I am in.
'My' Strange land
Needle leaves giving shade to
A fathomless sea melting into sky
Where is deepest thought?
Sand course but golden, round a castle wall,
Where has time gone? (sand in a timer/ or events in history)
Lavender, dog rose, broom
Hairy canary and golden fleece
From where and when?
People speaking words they understand
Eating p-ell- and t-rt-ll-
This is not my home
This is their home
I'm their stranger
In our beautiful world.
Sandy
Well done. Evocative. Like the timer bit.
Thank you Shelly. 🤗This was the second attempt. The first one was too sad but in my opinion better.
You are a lady of many talents Sandyđź‘Ź Love your poem
Thank you for liking my poem. Age turns life into an “essence!” Another hug!
Thanks for the great mystery. I’m still donning my Sherlock’s cap. I have an idea but am not yet sure it’s right…
Oh Rebecca so glad you read my poem. I will soon see that lovely, exotic church with a light . Do you remember posting about it? I am in a country you love.
Oh, well done, you’re in Spain!
Just loving it to bits. Which bit most I am not sure.
Fantástico!
