Voice

Hello

It’s good to hear your voice again

I missed you

Did you miss me, too?

 

It’s been so long

I don’t know what to do next

I want to cry when I wake up in the morning

I want to know what to do next

I want to know

 

Hello, have you heard this song before?

Of course you have, it’s a classic

Good Morning Beautiful?

What a cheesy song

 

I’ll talk to you later

 

Good evening again my dearest,

You’ll be home soon, I cannot wait

 

Merry Christmas, see the snow?

Good Morning Beautiful

Definitely a good poem here. This really speaks of a strong connection even through a separation. I know how this feels, entirely too well. Having to keep one of us at home means that my wife and I have to travel separately to visit friends and family, and I always feel a bit lost without my partner. I don't think it could have been described better. Thanks for the RR, SuperChick62! I really enjoyed this one.

The poem has a very universal touch and that's where its appeal lies. The emotions swing from sorrow to anticipation and the expression is simple and well done. Thanks for the RR. I enjoyed this read.

Thank you. Love is a very powerful emotion, the desire to write of it is very easy. I'm so thankful for your review.

You are welcome. :)

The character in the poem describes how it hears an imaginary voice that could be from an Angel taking care of her an reminding her of the birth of Christ.

Wow...I didn't think of the angel approach. Nice....

Me neither. I guess it could work, though. Interesting theory.

For this, the magic is in the vagueness. You've written about the emotions, not the details, and that's what really sells this. This isn't just about one couple separated by events beyond their control, it speaks about all couples kept apart, by distance, by their jobs, even by the barrier between life and death in a way. It's especially sad for anybody who has been separated from a loved one, and anyone who knows they will be.

...I'm sad now. You've made me think of my girlfriend, and the fact she's going to be gone for nine months because of a college scholarship.

To me, this poem is about me and her, while to someone else, it's about him and his wife, or her and her boyfriend, or even them and their son the soldier. And that right there is the real beauty of this poem.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to see my girlfriend while I still can.

Well, it's kind of a personal add-on. But if it cheers you up. The last verse represents my fiance at the time (husband now) coming home to me. He came for Christmas and we've been together ever since.

This piece paints the joy of a spoken connection at the same time it whispers of being far away from a person you love. That distance gets longer everyday it seems some mornings, when the coffee hasn't been made or the flowers in the vase need to be changed.

A poeticly unique form that carries alot of emotional undertones. Great writing!
