Passing By Comments

Rating: 4.9

Today they stood in silence,
While trying not to cry.
They gathered round the casket
So slowly passing by.

What a beautiful poem this is, Greenwolfe, and it expresses one of the saddest of truths....that we rarely show our deep love for someone until they are gone. Your words are carefully and very well chosen in this poem, written with just enough restraint to avoid the trap of becoming maudlin like so many sad poems do. In that respct, it makes this an exceptional poem and I am proud to say I have read it, liked it, and enjoyed it. Carl.

This one makes you think, why do we hold back until it's too late? Thank you for this poem.

Yes, it is strange how we bottle up our love and set it free when someone has passed. Great poem.

A very beautiful sad poem. The intensity of the feelings can be touched through your words, and the rhythm, slow as a procession adds to the meaning of this poem. Very well written! 10+

After recently going through a personal loss, I can relate very well to this, and it is a sence of comforting when all is said and done, and you have delivered that emotion in this write, from within your soul........

Wakes are for the comfort of the living...I remember in San Fran when Aids patients used to have wakes before they died...it's not something that will catch on, but it reminds us as your poem so eloquently states, that we should tell those we love how much we love them before it's too late...thoughtful and beautiful...Coach

'We seldom show our feelings Till after life is through.' this is so very true...I love how you told this moment in time without overly contrived words, just beautiful honesty...nice work

Intense write sharing sentiments on one unacknowledged existence. It is a logical page from life’s predictable aloofness... I liked this work. 10 Rema
