Love it! You tell the story of her life in few words, but so many images! She sits in shadow like a boulder...rests by the window each night looking out...but never say..at what...the world awakens with her hands in soil and the neighborhood loves her...Great poem..TPAC...

This is a very peculiar poem that attracted me because of its uniqueness. I know nothing about poetry, so can you tell me if this is a specific poetic form?
I felt very sorry for your character and her loneliness. You made her seem very real.

A very...interesting composition, TPAC, as you take us through the lonely life and times of one elderly widowed woman who is introduced quite simply as, Mary Christie.
One cannot help but feel some sympathy for the old gal.
Well expressed...

You have really presented this in an inventive and engaging form - refreshing since everyone else seems to be so focused on rules. I thoroughly enjoyed this as you walk the reader through the empty days of loneliness in such a genuine and heartfelt way one can't help but fall in love with the poor lady. Nicely done and I thank you very much for sharing it.

    I guess my next pits exploration is my rules breakage, at least enjoying learning and hopefully impeoving my future presentations. Glad beyond those flaws this work found some interest: even able to capture response emotions. Thanking you for generous rate and welcomed views.

I see and feel the loneliness in each line posed by the author in this piece being alone in her solitary room. Each word is carefully selected to describe how she deals being alone each day and her garden is her solace and getaway. She (is) known through a window frame. Nicely done.

    Thanks everyone seems to grab from different directions when they give comments on works I guess why two comments, although confusing, are better than one

    Which one? I'm lost. Please specify and sorry for the confusion although I don't know which one and on what.

Present tense verbs permeate the poem, thus be careful to remain in that tense.

Did you mean {toils} in the second line?

she only to appear, in the frame, upstairs
as she sits alone in silence
curtains fly up
she just sits without stopping her rock
she is known through a window frame

You may be using a technique that resorts to rudimentary simple speak leaving many s off of the verbs. If so, I apologize. Disregard my comments.

This has a soulful appeal and I liked it very much.

Solitude creeping in but the thinking of the movie within the poem sets the poet still maintains a technological backing. That guides and sustains even when human could never console.
Science has taken the pride over solitude that sets aside loneliness. Recommended for all those love to be alone.

Well penned and presented.
