The feeling of reminiscence tinged with regret and 20/20 vision is quite palpable in this poem, @estherikott, it breathes from your words.
The imagery, the feelings of nature, the combination of seen emotions and sensations, you weave a pattern of nostalgia.
The last stanza is what I found most intriguing. The juxtaposition of being present and the hardships there, and the wishful reflection of days long past, a nice echoing of the whole piece.
A deep read, Esther, and a good one.
Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for stopping by
It's nice to have you read it, The last stanza actually contains more emotions that the others
it certainly read as such, Esther; you did a great job channeling those emotions through the climax of that final stanza, it was a deeply present read.
