This is brilliant Vincent, and something I wish my two son's would do. It is a form of grieving and does wonders to lighten the load. Believe me, I know. It brought a tear to my eye as skimming stones, was a fav of their dad's, all I can say to you is do not let those dark demon lock you out of what life is about, and that is loving and enjoying it. I am sure you are a strong man, if you are anything like your father sounds. I don't believe they ever leave your heart, so make sure it does not go cold. Someone will come and bring love into your life I am sure. 10 from admiring Tai
That's a strong emotional work Vincent. It flows well and the structure is spot on. The opening two lines are great and really conjure up images of a typical English seaside. Small typo in the third line. A cracking work.
Speaking as someone who knows something about demons and barbed hedges, they are only insurmountable to those who have no desire to try. I am sure you will succeed and, as for your poem, it is sweet and sad and the lines work well together to create strong and solid images. Good workJoy
