POEM TO ROSINA FROM ANN.



"Poem to Rosina"

 

A Scottish maid with long blond hair,

lives high above the town, her poetry her joy,

her little Zak, her living toy, 

her closest friend,

she weaves her tales from round about,

where life is hard, I have no doubt,

she is so caring, kind and wise,

you see it in her smiling eyes.

 

Once bogged down in misery,

she now sees light beyond the sky,

where inspiration lurks,

and with such pure compassion, for her fellow men,

she pens such words in hope of helping them,

from fear and trembling to find,

like her, a solace of some sort,

within her poems as they ought.

 

For there within each phrase, each word,

are gems of understanding,

and any drunk or swaying man,

can find a hand and holding tight, 

can ride her words and gain some second sight,

into her mind so sympathetic,

so finely written and thought out

as that's her plan.

And we her colleagues listen on,

and know that they are helped for sure,

we know they are, they ask for more.

My dear sweet sister, It’s

My dear sweet sister, It's poems like these written from one to another that can be tucked into hearts, and reread when the day's harvest is poor, and the hunger for love and light can be overwhelming. ~Anna "The plain man is familiar with blindness and deafness, and knows from his everyday experience that the look of things is influenced by his senses, but it never occurs to him to regard the whole world as a creation of his senses." ~ Ernst Mach

Tell her we all love her… This poem is from someone She doesn't know But when she returns home She’d know… There are very many well wishers Like me Her lovely face who’d want to see… Tell her this poem is from a Loved one And twill be better If you gift it to her from me And adjust against all the points Neopoet’s forum or guys give to me … loved

One big kiss and a hug Rosina

Ann of Norway One big kiss and a hug Rosina for being you, and thank you. You are WELCOME. Not all people are themselves they act their lives out and wonder what they have missed out on, or they argue all the time about the news and other things that aren't really connected with their own experiences, living in the theatre of another world outside themselves, but you are you fair and square and we love you for being you. Thank you Rosina.
