tonyv Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 The feelings are expressed very well. I like how the poem leaves open the question of whether the narrator saw the object of his affection prior to their sole intimate encounter or after. tilsover wrote: On a dark, rainy corner I saw her go by. I once told her I loved her, she once showed me why. I'm leaning toward after. Nice to see you, as always, Tilsover.

JoelJosol Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 It's the lack of details of the implied state of things that made the poem interesting just as Tony noted.

goldenlangur Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Hi tilsover, Good to meet you and read your work. Your poignant poem seems to turn on the detail "once", giving a sense of longing which cannot be fulfilled. So much pain and yearning conveyed here. goldenlangur Quote goldenlangur Even a single enemy is too many and a thousand friends too few - Bhutanese saying.
