Check 1st word of 2nd stanza; just a suggestion! ! 3rd stanza: check cant, AND, besides being a fruit, what is lime? Does it mean to pick limes? I like the picture. You? Or the dead aunt? I was attracted to the title because you typed Dead. Some people would use a euphemism like departed, passed on, expired, .....but I like dead, the word, here. I better read the rest of it! I wuda used wuda if I hada thought of it. Hee hee. I liked the '3 L's' for the '3 K's'. Very nice. Bri :)

Hiii Bri, In Trinidad we use dialect in our speech so it comes out naturally in writing sometimes Used mainly for emphasis. A 'lime' in Trini dialect means a small party among few persons, just hanging out maybe drinking alcohol and having fun. That pic is my aunt. I miss her... Death is part of living. I did this poem for her funeral. May she rest in peace. Thank you for you words of encouragement and your suggestions are warmly appreciated. Atasha

Rich and wonderful tribute paid to a adorable lady who left a great void after her death. Each of us will die in our own separate way But right now, my heart grieves in pain,
