I Caught A Glimpse Comments

Its always nice to remember—memories keep us in connection with ourselves. Nice poem – keep writing.

It's interesting how the mind can play tricks. And yet, you've turned that mindful trick into a mindful poem. A sad heart felt poem. A poem that comes from your heart and soul. Empathy and vivid imagery. Great ingredients for masterful poetry. Congrats on yet another excellent write.

Love it, brought a tear to my eye

This is more like a story rather than poetry. I it missing some required elements for poetry. There's pros poetry but, at least it should have a rhythm or meter. It can be a great short story though. Hope you don't mind my comment since I usually like your work. Perhaps you can review it, it doesn't have to rhyme but what about a beat? That would make it more enjoyable.

You have mastered the art of story telling poetic form. I really felt carried away by your feeling and felt gloomy for the you remembered. You are great writer poet. My favorite lines of poems runs below: Despite the choices you chose And the lifestyle you lived The man I knew Still had the innocent heart Of that young skater boy You showed me the kind side Of your personality Your sweetness and caring Your love of life itself.

Another sad, but all too familiar a story - it happens too often these days. Good write Colleen.

It is so true, Colleen, some of us make wrong choices, but it does not make them bad people. All have a soft spot, somewhere deep inside a good heart. I think that each of us have both sides in us. If one is brutally murdered, it is sad, no matter what were the circumstances. I like the poem very much, it is truly touching.

i'm sorry to hear about your friend, i can relate to such a situation and it's difficult to try and get through such a thing which is why i picked up writing poems.it helps to release all the pain in writing.good poes and tribute to your friend

Kept my attention. It's really sad to lose someone, like this! But your poem captured the sadness and void caused by his death in a manner that I was almost on the verge of crying! May you be blessed with strength. Keep writing.

Did you witnessed such an event that you mentioned in the poem? anyway sad but them nicely presented!

this poem is written with emotion nice write

Nice thought and remembrance of a skater boy friend!

I loved this poem. Tender and beautiful and so sad. When one loses someone special at a young age the pain never really goes away. It's there all the time living in your head and it surfaces at the slightest. I get all these feelings from your lovely poem.

Once again a Beautiful poem straight from your heart. You have portrayed each lines so well, that I read it twice. It's very true, it can happen.....Loved reading it.

You showed me the kind side........nice one to think and decide about life in real sense

A good memoirs expossing the intensity of love.
