2023 Neopoem Of the Year
This Year’s Neopoem is Lost Companion by Alex Tanner
Congratulations to Alex Tanner on a job well done
By: Alex Tanner
We've walked wild blossom filled meadows,
Bees hummed in verdant grass,
Birds sang in leaf clad hedgerows,
Rabbits fled as we strolled past.
We've walked through winter woodlands
Snow deep upon the path;
Geese took their flight before us
By ponds like crystal glass.
Winter's dawn or Summer's sunset
Together we have been
Inseparable companions
Linked by a common gene.
No more to race through bluebell woods,
No more to frighten hares,
No more to roll in autumn leaves,
No more to hear my cares.
No more to sit in dappled glade
As you lay at my feet,
Your soulful eyes ne'er left my face
You judged not when I speak.
Alone I walk the meadows
The woods in winter too.
And though I walk in silence
I feel your presence through.

Dear Alex,
I could not help myself. but come back for yet another reading of your lovely wistful poem. This is an excellent piece of work. I hope I am not out of line here, because I feel I must quote to you my favorite lines:
No more to sit in dappled glade
As you lay at my feet,
Your soulful eyes ne'er left my face
You judged not when I speak.
