Misty Blues

 Oh, trees of once so forest green
now shrouded to me in pale hues
as my hearts reflection of blues
mirrors a lifeless figurine

Pray hide from me sunbursts of glow
for the sky is of mist alone
and where I roam as cold as stone
all thoughts run deep and overflow

Shadowy shaped vapours haunt me
with your gaze of cerulean blue
and if to feel your touch I drew
my hand that longed the touch of thee

All worn paths I fear now to tread
for there are haunting scents of you
that so relentlessly pursue
 a heart that’s already long dead 

 All alone as teardrops of blue
and misty, hazy dreams of you 
float away once more out of view 
forsaking what my heart once knew

Mystic Rose Rose Date: 5/18/2024 12:51:00 PM such a jewel of a poem with perfect rhyming pitch dear Christina, I thoroughly enjoyed it :)
Suzette Richards Date: 5/18/2024 10:55:00 AM A perfectly executed Enclosed Rhyme. Your poem epitomises the maxim: Poetry should be felt, rather than understood. FAVing it, Christina.
Silent One Date: 5/18/2024 7:47:00 AM Your poem beautifully conveys a deep sense of loss and melancholy, using nature and evocative imagery to reflect the speaker's emotional state... It masterfully uses natural imagery and a melancholic tone to explore themes of loss, memory, and the haunting persistence of grief. Its emotional depth and lyrical quality create a powerful and moving reading experience.
Tom Woody Date: 5/18/2024 5:44:00 AM Oh gosh Christina, so terribly sad and bleak, but in a beautifully written way. This is classic poetry, an art form that is being left behind in favor of one liner quips that pass for neo-poetry and for which the Insta crowd with it's short little attention span craves. A fave for Tom Woody
Shadow Hamilton Date: 5/18/2024 5:22:00 AM This poem is haunting sad it seems to be about someone no longer with us with which can relate to I lost my love in 2005 and still mourn him extra hugs Shadow
Paul Willason Date: 5/18/2024 2:52:00 AM Your poem, Christina, quickly seizes attention and plays so sorrowfully in the heart and head...conveys such depth of feeling. There is that conflict between being moved by sadness and the enjoyment in reading outstanding verse...each adds to the experience of why poetry matters and why this poem is a splended example.
Ink Empress Date: 5/18/2024 12:03:00 AM Dear chriszy, this is such a profound and poignant quatrain flowing so seamlessly with such deep and raw emotions that would touch any readers heart and soul. The way you’ve phrased your lines and delivered grief and pain is beyond impeccable! I loved so many lines in this especially the opening lines as well as “ Shadowy shaped vapours haunt me with your gaze of cerulean blue and if to feel your touch I drew my hand that longed the touch of thee” the depth of that really hit’s so strong!
Hilda Greenhough Date: 5/17/2024 10:12:00 PM A haunting quatrain. The story of romance is so fully told in this gem of poetry.
Sara Etgen-Baker Date: 5/17/2024 5:23:00 PM Your poem touched me deeply, Christina. I felt deep sadness and grief as I read your words. How powerfully poignant this line was: All worn paths I fear now to tread for there are haunting scents of you. I can't imagine losing my hubby, the love of my life. We share so much...life without him would be empty. Am faving this heartfelt poem. have a great evening, hugs, Sara
I Am Anaya Date: 5/17/2024 4:24:00 PM What would it be like to never again have somebody you love near you, what pain could I only imagine. This piece, Christina is so beautifully written, I love the way the lines continue flawlessly. And how descriptive, "his gaze of cerulean blue and if to feel your touch I drew" it touches the reader deeply. Melancholy perhaps, but never dull. Congrats on your first video! A pleasure reading your work! Peaceful days to come ~Anaya
Malabika Ray Choudhury Date: 5/17/2024 3:30:00 PM Dear Christina, Love your stunning poem! The last stanza, especially this line - "All alone as teardrops of blue and misty, hazy dreams of you", touched my heart. For some unknown reason, your soothing, sad, melodious lines brought tears to my eyes. Love and best wishes, Sweet Christina.
Andrea Dietrich Date: 5/17/2024 1:38:00 PM This is such a classy read. Was it for any of the contests? Beautiful imagery.
Vijay Pandit Date: 5/17/2024 1:09:00 PM So emotive a write, Christina--feelings forlorn reverberate throughout and touch the reader. Lovely diction, my friend: All alone as teardrops of blue and misty, hazy dreams of you float away once more out of view forsaking what my heart once knew---perfectly delivered!
Sam Kauffman Date: 5/17/2024 12:13:00 PM Christina, sadness wraps itself around your words in icy mists, in shades of shadows wherever you walk as shivering reminders of what your have lost. What a wonderful job you have done drawing me into cold "mists" of grieving sadness. Wonderful word pairings. Sending you blessings of comfort.
Paula Goldsmith Date: 5/17/2024 11:27:00 AM What a sad yet wonderful write. I enjoyed reading it. I can feel the pain. Have A Blessed Weekend Writing Away.........
