Wheel of love fifth turning |

Acceptance , already published on here in the posting Fifty Years Apart fits into the sequence at this point as well ,
The Christian name in the title is a personal tribute to a favourite poet and his Autumn Journal Louis in Autumn
I found my love in a candle flame,
in a sentimental tune,
in a word but barely spoken
in a gently whispered name .
I loved my love with the scent of a rose
under the stars on a moonless night
hearing the words that somebody sang
to a tune that everyone knows.
I lost my love in a book I read ,
in the slightest gesture of distaste,
and will I hear another song
now that it is dead ? |

Is this the last poem in the sequence? perhaps this is why it appears to be so different from the rest?

Written by mishmish (389 comments posted) 17th June 2006 | This was a beautiful poem, but I am a little confused...I thought fourth turning was the finale. It seemed so cruel and desolate of love that it had to be...or maybe that was you playing with the reader!!
This one seems more upbeat than fourth. The imagery although spekaing of 'and will I hear another song, now that it is dead' - is still overtly positive in its structure and sentiment.
I see now that there is 6th turning. I need to look at this one to see any differences/similarities.
But A lovely poem overall...
best wishes
