Poem -
Down The Street
Walking down the path
I move slowly to the side
I see a person coming towards me
Yet I do not recognise
I should have
It is only until he closes up
As we are just to pass
I almost freeze at the spot
It was the stranger
I keep seeing in my mind
He stops as I am in his path
Smiles to move aside
Still my mind wonders of images
He murmurs something
I do not hear
Yet I know what he is saying
And move automatically away
Still in a frenzy
I walk on
He has passed
I remember the smile
Oh dear βis this love?β
Recurring visions float in my mind
In every encounter I have missed
I did not this time!

wonderful poem
Thank you! And for like and vote x
Youβre welcome
excellently crafted piece.
Thank you and for the like.Β
I Love the tone and the ambiance created in this piece.....it feels like when you're just awakening from a dream.....one that you're trying to 'remember to remember' because you know that it is somehow important to you......I think I'm beginning to a style in your poetry.....a recognizable voicing is beginning to emerge (just my humble opinion)β¦β¦.but I'll continue to read some of your writes and see if I'm correct in my premature hypothesis!! (smiles)β¦..regardless, It's VERY compelling stuff dear poet sister!!β¦β¦.ALL STARS!!β¦..Kings to you!!β¦β¦.LOVE & ROCKETS!!β¦β¦.T xoΒ : )
Thank you Tony for that lovely comment :)
I wrote a brief dreamy moment many years ago!! This is one of my fun ones ?
I'm glad you seeing some style in my poetry. I mainly freestyle and my stuff hardly ever rhymes.Β
I am learning about different types of poetry writing through the categories on here!! Its been very educational just reading other work, the rhymes, verses and even traditional poetry!!
Look forward to reading your final commentaries and analogy about my poetry work!! Only a poet can tell another poet!!
Thank you for the βββββ ! P x

An excellent piece of poetry! Looking forward to reading more from you!Β

Thank you saf. One of my very early fun ones!! Complete dreamy!!
My Dear Pratibha,
We have a new star on Cosmo, who opens up her heart and Soul, sharing it with those fortunate enough to read her prose.Β Β
I passed a stranger while on the street
His bright eyes and smile, did me gently greet
A couple hours later, I saw him in a store
Now for many decades, we have shared love evermore
Peace and Love,
Larry xxx

Wow thank you Larry for another lovely response (aka poem)! And another haiku? I'm truly humbled my writing reaches people. Thats what writing is about. Leaving a mark, a thought, a desire, a question. β

" GIVING, IT, UP " for the boys, with the toys....stems, from relative comparison, dictating events. AND, PASSION. Beyond " retail therapy " and psychological conditioning. Strengthening purpose. With, resolution crystal-clear, as to what should go on, where !Β :) Live. Give. Sieve the download stream, for natural best. To, satisfy, desires. For, more. Whether, " IN THE STREET " or down a dark alley. Away from rural groundworks, of societies primitive designs. Collaboration bringing the world into focus, or not, as the case may be. Called into question ? " THE BEAST " tormented ?
Life, enlarged by singular devotion to articulate " moans " on policy, to release fruitful adventures. Beyond romantic notions, and emotions. Remember, assume nothing as you tread wearily on dreams. And, the seams, of conjecture, raising the banner to hope, and any promise.Β :)
Hi Richard. I have no idea what you are writing about but thank you for the stars!!
Hi Cherie. Thank you very much! Much appreciative.
Yes I really should of put a smile and hello in it! Though I wrote this when I was a student!! Xxx

Mind blowing words..Β
Thank you most appreciative x
Good morning Pratibha ! A lovely poem to start my day , I thoroughly love the dreamy feel to this piece , the smooth flow , the open endedness and suspense you leave the reader in . A stunning write , well done :) Chris xx
Thank you so much and the way you described my poem with words like open endedness and suspense. No one has said that before. This is a very old piece. Still cant believe I wrote that back then. One of my favourite fun piece of write. Px
I agree with Chris on this, it has such a dreamlike feeling but it is also grounded in those very special unique moments of connection, when your soul recognises the stranger you've never met before, a stunning work my friend ?
Aaww thank you Marion. This I wrote 20 years ago when I began writing. I still love it. Great to get comments to see what people really think cos didnt know until I put it on here. Px ?
??Just through your words, I can imagine how she felt seeing him. From the last line it seems that next time she sees him (and she will) a little more will be accomplished... As she clearly fancies him ? x
Hi Tina! Yes I imagine so....maybe i should write a part 2, 20 years later!! Lol. It's a beginning of romance..Β
those glances...little moments....and shyness....cant believe it's actually had good comments cos I wrote it 20 yrs ago and its only now it's being read this year!!
Thanks for taking the time xxx Px?
Nice to meet you Pratibha!
