Wonderful to read a new poem by Carol Purington. We met years ago through Hummingbird: Magazine of the Short Poem, founded in 1990 by Phyllis Walsh; now edited by CX Dillhunt from Madison, Wisconsin.
It is so moving, the journey through life, with our loved ones as they age, and as we age along with them.

I enjoy Carol's books as well. Thank you.

Wonderfully simple and evocative first two lines, and added sensual input with that last line.
Great work!
warm regards,

Alchemilla. a
lady's cloak. Raindrops run off,
a broken necklace.

we have all seen these hands
some may have these hands one day
and yet, the poet provides a soothing image
of someone who continue to harvest life
