Swan Lake
L. B. Mek said:

\'All faded from her fragile mind\'

\'The legs to heaven once did climb
In her mind mark perfect time

And having reached the final act
The lovers perish in a pact\'

\'In vacant eyes a feeble light\'

!Brilliant!
(I am so glad I found this
This is curated with such care
Sensitive ink, imbuing empathy
In every syllable, lavish poetry
Painting a life\'s legacy for all
To witness and to offer
A special individual a little jolt
To help inspire one last pirouette)

Mamma\'s Winter Coat
L. B. Mek said:

Brilliant!
so vivid, such clarity, effortless accessibility
(you would give Proust and his madeleine
a good run for their money)
I bow to your superior talent
dear cherished friend
and most admired Poet
(captured that child in your poetic voice so well)

Mamma\'s Winter Coat
MendedFences27 said:

Such a loving memory. It always seems to be the very small things in life that we remember most.
This poem brought back a picture of the wingback chair I would sit in when very young. A very pleasant memory. thank you for that, - Phil A.

Neville said:


made me think of my Fathers old jacket ..

I didn\'t need to squeeze a tear from my eyes while reading .. they came from out of nowhere all on their own ..

this is a magnificently crafted poem Bella that truly took me on a far too brief journey back in time .. and for that alone, I thank you .. Neville

Nostalgia - so rich I almost felt I knew that coat and would be looking out for it every time I visit a charity shop from now on. (It\'s where I get most of my clothing - but don\'t tell anyone).
For me, a large wing back chair...Thanks for the smooth ride - it really drew me in, Bella.

A great poem and a wonderful memory. Thank you for sharing with us! Such powerful imagery. And I remember what it was like to have a mom.

Mamma\'s Winter Coat
sorenbarrett said:

A wonderful memory and metaphor of how we look to the strength and comfort of the past; our mother, that took away all of our fears and gave us a vote of confidence that we wish we could still feel today.. A touching and poignant poem.

Well of course this is a wonderful poem, a beautiful scene hiding inside your mom\'s coat superbly written and left me smiling from ear to ear dear Bella. Dolly Parton\'s coat of many colours also came to mind. I adore that song she also wrote it for her mom. 💖

My Little Fantasy
L. B. Mek said:

(love your tonality
in this subtle droplet of wisdom
thank you! kind Poet)
yes, this is one of my coping methods
I will save a fantasy
or a song, or a movie, a book
anything
because I know when life
throws
those blind sided, punches n slaps
I\'m gonna need them
to help me hide and survive
till I can rise again, shake it off
and smile bright

Bella this is such a wonderful thought and piece of advice. We advise people to save their money for a rainy day but seldom are we told that it is just as important, if not more so, important to save emotional profit for those days as well. Loved this piece Bella

Memories
Pop64 said:

While a beautifully formatted and flowing read, it contains the maudlin ideal of memories, how we might lose them and how we can gain them and treat them. A treat for the reader, but a sad truth for he or she suffering from this dilemma.

My Little Fantasy
Pop64 said:

Fantasies are marvelous as they let us all indulge in more often those things we cannot have or are taboo. Yet, serve to provide a happiness when needed or wanted. Beautifully expressed.
