Tremulous Afternoon in Airless Rooms by Selma Martin
Happy last Friday in August, everyone.
Onward, to Narnia… (well, not quite…)
I wish you miracles.
I’m a simple woman who dares to see the beauty in ordinary. I’d love to connect with you and like pen pals, I want something beautiful to blossom between us. Will you join me? Selma is my middle name. Its meaning—peaceful, complete, are euphoric affirmations I like to think of myself as having. They compliment the joy I feel when I write. I sincerely hope you decide to join me on my writing journey. I Wish You Miracles.

I wish to transfer from Hotel by Masticadores Website Mich’s comment and keen analysis of the poem here, so that I never forget her words. Thanks so much Mich.
“This poem vividly portrays the isolation of loneliness through a striking metaphor of the natural world. The imagery of clouds and the sun’s disdainful glare against a backdrop of personal despair powerfully contrasts external beauty with internal emptiness. The atmosphere of the “airless room” and the indifferent elements outside reflect a profound sense of disconnection and longing. The poem’s melancholic tone and evocative language capture the essence of feeling unnoticed and trapped in one’s own sorrow.
Thank you so much dear Selma❤️”
