Scattered Echoes

Scattered Echoes

by Todd-Michael St. Pierre Flowers for a grave,

Both dainty and distressing,

As tears escape twin rivers of the soul.

Convenient time I gave,

Infrequently expressing,

The sentiment between routine and role.

Words left unspoken,

Considered unnecessary,

Sunshine and shadows, petals and tears.

Now the bridge is broken,

The chance was temporary,

To cross back and stroll through tender years.

Eulogies and regret,

As mysterious as Jade,

I failed to say just what I really meant.

A cemetery debt,

For love that went unpaid,

And greeting cards I never even sent.

Well, this sounds good, the type of poems I enjoy reading though honestly I'm not in the mood at the moment so I have to reread it again when I'm better. For now let me tell you I was moved to read "flowers for a grave" cause I didn't expect that, and you know unexpected things move us more than anything else, what is next to mention is the serene feeling it gives to the reader, and mentioning tears falling and words unspoken gives a strange feeling of silence covering the writer's sadness. And here comes another thing I'm fond of; metaphor, so expressing not having another chance from now on, though it was possible one day in only two words: broken bridge, is good indeed.
Finally, talking about the way the poet ended his poem, let me say it was wonderful, I think the best way to give a poem a nice end is to make that end simply simple, and that was what I saw in "And greeting cards I never even sent". So absolutely beautiful, and I had to google it to know whom it was written for, so found this written by the poet himself:

This poem was written just after the death of a very dear friend and fellow writer. It's one of those feelings where you know you did a lot and you cared, but you feel you could have done more in retrospect. Scattered thoughts that go through your mind when you loose someone near and dear to you. It was my way of venting all of those varied emotions onto paper.


Bad me, forgot to say thanks. Thank you Mariam, a very nice poem indeed
