Two for Tuesday again at the Poetic Asides November Poem-A-Day Chapbook Challenge π
1. Gathering, or
2. Letting go
Why not “Gathering to Let Go”? My theme continued, here is my offering:
Β ***
Clouds gathering above my head
Just as they do in cartoon films
Pouring rain then
Showering me off my musing
Β
I guess that gathering
Just helps me
Let you go
Β
We have to
Let go
To be allowed to
Come back.

Beautiful words, Mariya. I love your poetry.
Thanks Becca! I love the photos you take – I find so many nice ones to accompany my poems π
Very nice poem. That last stanza sits nicely with me.
(And Becca, love the photo, too!)
“gathering just helps me let you go” Lovely image…
Linda, thank you very much. That last stanza came to my mind very suddenly, to be honest π My original idea was different, but obviously this was better since I forgot the original one.
Pearl, your words mean a lot to me. You are such a gifted poet, so naturally I look up to your opinion. Thanks! π
Wow…the “let go / come back” combination is beautiful, Mariya.
Rick, thank you!
Lovely, Mariya. Very Zen. I also love your comment – not your original idea. One of the reasons I love to read and write poetry; the poem often surprises.
Nice one, Mariya. Juxtaposition works well as you use it. The words feel like water. I realy like it.
Yes, Sarah, exactly so – one of the reasons I love writing. You never know where your muse will take you, or what she will write by your hands π
Claudsy, thank you so much. Feeling my words is one of the best effects they could have on my readers π
