Portrait of mother

Portrait of mother

A Poem by Mary Helda
"

feeling alittle sad

"
"I love you," you echoed;

With a mellifluous voice

That is tautly bound to my heart-

It still lingers in my mind,

So magical

So real

So soft

So pure

your voice ; those words-

My treasure

My Portrait of you.

/"I love you," you echoed;

With a mellifluous voice

That is tautly bound to my heart-

It still lingers in my mind/

the mother echoes the child's love - how sweet like honey - and that memory has a strength to bind the heart to such a loving and lovingly shared memory!

Nice one. I didn't actually evoked a sad feeling in me. More nostalgic in a way.

Reading this gave me a warm feeling. Some old, rusty memories popped up in my head, dug up from the dusty place where they had been lying for a long time. Very powerful for a short poem, I really like the small sentences with 'so'. I know the feeling you're having, I've had it myself. 'Write' away the feelings, place them in a certain spot, but do not ignore the feelings. Acknowledge their presence, accept their presence, and focus on what lies in front of you - you have the power to change things in life.

Thank you my dear..you are too generous with your words:-)
A lovely warm touching write, the fact that its so touching gives a sadness cos its just so pure with love! You just want to hang onto it as long as possible. A lovely expressed piece with smooth flow. I liked this alot!

Even if you were just writing down how you felt, I think it has still resulted in a great poem. I love how short and powerful the lines are. The "So magical, So real, So soft, So pure" part was really beautiful.
