Turquoise Clouds in a Green Sky
“I always remember the first time I saw the green sky and the turquoise clouds skating across it.”
These words had stayed with Alice Barrett for two years. She’d been six- years-old and snuggled next to her great-grandmother, known to nearly all the family as Granny Rose, on a large, rather uncomfortable armchair. Granny Rose had been telling her a story, at least that’s what Alice believed, but it was a strange memory, blurry apart from those few words.

Nicely done!
I don't really understand the context here, so sorry 😅😅
The flow of the poem feels almost like a wistful breath, and the choice of words adds such depth to the emotions you're conveying. It's a touching exploration of love, separation, and the hope of one day being reunited. Thank you for sharing this poignant and beautifully written piece. It really resonated with me.
Wonderfully written. But I don't find it too sad, I actually find it uplifting
Oh this has such a beautiful melancholy sense of loss to it, and so lyrical too! Wonderful poem, Spinstress!
