faded dress but not faded it's glorious in thy dream; it's full of happy memorable writing; nice to read the poem
Many congratulations for this wonderful to have been chosen as POD
This elegy has been presented so beautifully, and elegantly. It is poignant, with the love and care of the departed soul so vividly captured. I will say it is an exquisite song with its rhyme and rhythm.
Great poem Germain, is not the faded dress the bird, what we hold after the incident of experience is all we truly have.

I rarely show emotions for I grew up really hard but your sweet/sad poem nearly broke my heart I was not sure but I thought a tear came to my eye and when I tried to hold it back I could not though I tried thanks Mel
Lovely poem, Melvina. It could be made into a song. It already has the chorus and everything.
i thought for sure i'd read and commented on this one this past year! perhaps not? anyway, i definitely like this one and shall send it to MyPoemList and to my/our November showcase, Section B. a bit depressing for some near the end i suppose, but some will perhaps enjoy knowing that others grieve for lost ones. well done! I like the rhyming and the repetition of the two-line stanza; can’t go too wrong mentioning song birds! bri :)
Stunning poem Melvina. Beautifully penned and poignantly sad. Loved it.
Dream my darling dream as only you can listen to the song birds, hold them in your hand Fantastic..Thanks you Mevina
A gorgeous poem. The beauty of it conquers a sadness. This is an amazing elegy. A 10.
Very beautiful and I really enjoyed this write. Full of sweet details yet there is some sadness too. Red dress faded but poem is still full of color.
Listen to the song birds, hold them in your hand - a perfect refrain! very uplifting poem!
