Parting Ways Never Been Easy.... Comments

You asked Edward below if this is a poem. I have struggled with this myself. What makes a poem a poem? The answer I have decided is the reader. If the reader thinks it's a poem, then it is. That said, This Is A Poem! And a very beautiful and well thought out one at that. Just because you are telling an autobiographical story doesn't mean it can't also be poetry. I enjoyed this very much. It's gripping. The type of thing that once you start reading, you must know the conclusion. Very well done Ging. A 10 no doubt

oh! wonderful Ging! it is beautiful, speechless and quite flows tears

You left me alone! ! ! Love and pain. Thanks for sharing.

You write with rare poetic skill. The story vividly flows in an-easy to follow way. Simply unputdownable!

Wow! A lovely poem about loving and losing. I would say more but Bri Edwards already said it all!
