Alone and afraid? That is what I'm getting from this. Memories are the only thing that console the poem's speaker, and those memories are so long ago and far away...

Comment from Goodauthor
Although I understood what you message, this particular form of Free Verse is not good for this particular poem and punctuation is necessary to the flow. It would actually have more impact on the reader if the lines were longer and more explicit.
Shadows
floating
on my mind
warm glow
on my breast
reflections
of a thousand
memories
Ex:
{Shadows silently floating on my mind,
reflections of a thousand memories,
leave a warm glow on my breast.}

Comment from Dorothy Farrell
Pili this is lovely free verse full of simile and metaphor throughout. Stanza 1 is a lovely example of simile. Your penultimate stanza makes good use of metaphor and is lovely. A lovely expressive read. Warm regards Dorothy

Comment from dragonpoet
This free verse poem tells of deep introspection of a person who has lost a lot and is remembering that. I like the single words. They allow the feeling of floating away on the memory but trying hard to cling to the dream of the things lost.

Excellent artwork that complements your free verse very well. A true free verse with many elements. Your soul feels like an island. Shadows and ancient songs.

My God Pili, your poem made me think how much sadness we human beings carry during our lifetime. The suffering has no end. You are such an elegant writer, so deep are your poems, you write a lifetime story in each and every poem. I hope you could publish your work, the world would be lucky to read your deep warm poems. I just love them, they are so real. Sorry my six is gone. Bless you my friend. Much love from Montreal. Terry xooxxo

So beautiful!! Love, love, love the image!! The background color and font choice compliment this piece perfectly - overall presentation is absolutely beautiful. I have never written such a completely/real (per se) free verse such as this - and especially without punctuation!! I just can't pull it off. You, however, you definitely did!!! :) Jill P.
