Snow falls
On Archer Avenue

Late at night
The streetlamps cast
A pale glow

It’s at times like these
The mind plays tricks
On even the wisest eyes

And someone will say
To himself he saw

Youth
The man I was

My first love
Risen from the dead

smiling wide

I saw this challenge, and I thought (at first) how well the subject would lend itself to a Ballad or even an Ode.

Then I thought how much better it would be if you answered your own challenge.

I was right.

You see beyond illusions...

your poetry is like watercolor.

wisps and puddles layered

serenity blaze,

Thank you.

This was a CBE on the theme.
I knew it couldn’t possibly be written
by me from her perspective so I responded
differently.

I really hope others make an attempt.

Thanks again.

John

P.S.

CBE
chinese brush experience
a poem written without change except for minor punc, caps, and such

Excellent.  You wrote of her well.  I enjoyed
the link you gave us...and I shall give
the issue some thought and perhaps brew up
something of my own.
