One Year Comments

Very excellently worded, dear Sharon, the words touched deepest my heart.5 Stars Most deserving poem as The Modern Poem Of The Day. Chosen by PoemHunter and Team. Congratulations!

Why 'Anonymous submission', I wonder. City cemeteries (and country ones too I suppose) can be good places to go bird watching.

I once went with my 3rd wife to her father's grave. She (I think) said that he called her 'stupid' and she hated him. We got help finding his grave and then she did what she came for: she SPIT on his grave.

I once had a short temporary job mowing a lawn in a cemetery. While there I got a look inside the cemetery's crematorium where a large coffin-shaped cardboard box was burning in a furnace. : )

It has been several years since I've visited a graveyard/cemetery, in which I knew none of the inhabitants (the dead ones; not the ants and such) .

Tears from my jaw and neck! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

As usual Old's get to the nub and tells the reader in stark lines her grief. The overwhelming sense of loss and sadness great write as always loved this.

This is a beautiful poem nicely executed. Thanks and congratulations for being selected this poem as the poem of the day.

I Love G-D (Part 2) - Poem by Jeff Fleischer I love G-d with all my heart and all my soul. He fills me with His spirit. He talks to me in the shadows of the night And whenever I beseech Him. If you desire His love, Walk in His ways. The guardian of the universe Requires no rest. The protector of all. Dependent upon none.

Excellent work, Sharon.
