I lost 'me' where the foliage had to stream,
in worn out memories, and cold dreams,
on the cliffs and the gulfs of time
where willows whine with no rhyme.
Then I found 'me' - bashing
through the ember
of September,
A phoneix grew_
I found
YOU

Hi Rula
it's a nice way to remember how you found your better half in September and expressing it in poetic verse...so we now know that September holds an important day in your calendar...
i suggest that unless there is some syllable count requirement, you may remove one of the two "the" in each of the two lines
in the memories, and the bold dreams,
on the cliffs and the gulfs of time
the poem also has a nice soft feel which goes pretty well with the theme..

Appreciate your endless support.

Hello Stan
three things if I may :)
First, my name is RulA not RulE
2nd, I rarely write free verse. Most of the time I DO rhyme.
3rd, this is not intended for the contest, unless someone would recommend it. I have already submitted one for the contest. It's not that I expect to win, but I appreciate if you tell me which better fits the bill.
Anyway, appreciate your kind visit.
My apology I blame the name on a typo
But the rhyming was just my being stupid......ston.......see, there goes another typo
Hello Stan
no need to apologise. No offense taken.;-)
this qualifies for Septy contest
Please mark it as for
CONTEST
Hello Lovedly
I was only trying to know which qualifies better, the one that I have already submitted or this one.
As always, I highly appreciate your kind visit.
