Thank you Ann. It almost seems as if you wrote this for me. It really touched my heart. You really understand. Love and pain. GW62
Another new fan for your poems Ann - - and so glad to have found this - - you have both metre and rhyme just right and the narrative pulls hard at the heartstrings of the reader....... a first for me with your work but certainly not the last.... look forward to reading more soon....... greetings from Fay...xx
Absolutely delightful. Your composition a wonderful concept and the meter just sings to me. You know, free verse is the 'in' thing with lack of structure in society now, but bring back rhyme, and the discipline required to get through life. Excellent....I am so glad I found you Ann.....Karin Anderson
This is a wonderful write Ann, tender and deeply touching. Best wishes, Andrew
I agree with Dream Catcher... a sad poem so beautifully written and it reminds me of when my mother died; my dad was quite ill at the time but he went three years after her, I think he couldn't wait to follow her!
Nice poem on love, Enjoyed reading it.
