'And the last light of the sun Kisses their whispering leaves'.... very sweet and lively lines... I love it........rgrds/salu

Sad beyond sadnees my friend

I liked the last stanza...........a there is no history of pain........good poem

A beautifully composed lament John. Wonderful use of alliteration and I love the way you have personified nature to echo the pain. Stunning - A 10 from me.Justine

Est pointed this out to me - very glad she did! Wonderful piece, full of feeling and super alliteration with the jarring stop to the smoothness at the word 'grave'. Didn't know what a monody was - thanks on such a beautiful example to demonstrate. 10+ -chuck

John, yes, in a word - WOW. In more words, this is deeply meaningful as well as sheerly beautiful. I thank you too. Into my favorites with this... Esther

This is superb, John. It has wonderful metaphors and sings a song to, my heart. Thanks for thisl Raynette
