The meagre quarter

The meagre quarter

A Poem by Moonie
"

The past never goes away, we just stop seeing it.

"
In the year's meagre quarter:
When the chilly winds would howl,
louder than the wild wolves;
and the withered leaves would,
litter my porch;
When silver birds with pearly eyes,
would dance around my window.
When the sinister ghosts of life would 
beckon me,
and the spirits of the dead would
rise again
from their graves, into the night,
to linger and roam and haunt
the streets that once belonged to them
(But belong no more)
That is when you would find me...

Sometimes stooping, sometimes walking
on the pavement, alongside the ghosts...

"and the withered leaves would,
litter my porch;"
those lines especially .. nice job!

Thanks. I generally say I reckon. That is what I reckon anyway.:P
Past is always walking with us, in our shadows, sometimes clouding out path. Love the imagery and the wording. Great piece!

I love the strong imagery and spooky quality to this poem. It is ethereal and visceral in an 'other-worldly' sort of way. Very nice, write!

You're welcome :)
I enjoyed this poem today. It is dark and dreary here and it felt perfect reading your words. You have a wonderful imagination and it brings panoramic visions to me eyes. Your poem speaks in loud whispers in the drakness.

You flatter me! Thank you very much. :))
Leftovers of memories you once considered special but the person who shared with you didn't, will linger in your memory and take you to places no one can see. I adore how you write- especially how you describe things, like the words you use and metaphors. You've outperformed yourself, as usual 🎀
P.S- don't thank me 🎆
