The Relatives...sepia tinged and almost forgotten
smelling vaguely of lilac,
whose names I've long forgotten;
"Somewhere in France, Dear Mother,"
and within me reap their harvest.

love your work :)
thank you, dreemsteem
You're welcome :)
I love that last line.
I love anything sepia....words, memories, even songs have sepia tones for me. Your poem sounds like a tribute to someone very special, maybe a parent, a mother?
The tones behind your words are warm and caring. This may sound a bit awkward but I have a see/feel thing with words - and your writing in particular is lyrical. Both your poetry and short stories.
I appreciate that, countrygirl :)
you're perceptive, @countrygirl - I guess everything I write and say is lyrical - maybe it's the Irish in me :)
