You have written a touching poem and heart can be felt in it. I have experienced the feeling of lose and remembering it breaks your heart.....10

This is such a beautiful poem, obviously written with love. I've known and loved several people whose mind was swept away by Alzheimer's and it is so very sad. You put it extremely well! A '10! ' Warm Wishes, Marilyn

Hi CR, Poetry comes naturally to you. Syble seems to be an intimate portrait of a person for whom you feel intensely. You outpour your heart and weave emotions in perfect metrical lines that flow so well with rhyme, rhythm and music that it creates an aura of imaginative sympathy around the reader. The poem unfolds the two extreme moods of life from the perfect confident jubilance to the anguish of utter helplessness and carries an underlying message of Gita to stay equipoised in life lest too much attachment should lead to catastrophe. Anyway, that is how understand it. May be, I am not right. Regards, CP

an artistic creation, so touching, thanks for sharing *10*

The saddest of sad conditions here versed for the reader in such pathos - - - - - Richard you have the poet's pen but - oh that you didn't need to write thus.....10 from Fay.

A very sad and heart-dissolving poem. As a poet you are very successful to draw reader's attention towards this neurodegenerative disease in which people suffer with memory loss and confusion and they end in a tragedy........10/10

Oh this poem certainly pulls at the heartstrings and tells the horrible truth of this horrendous disease. You made me feel as if I was in the room with her watching her, yes you brought me into the poem and that is a true sign of an excellent poet. This poem depicts great sadness yes, but penned very well.

A very poignant poem Richard, my Aunt died from Alzheimer's disease, was a sad time for her an the family, hopefully one day there may be a cure for this dreaded disease... Thank you for sharing! Best wishes! ! *10*! Friend Thad

If this has no compassion to it, then I would question, what does? Such a moving poem Richard Beautifully sad, , , , Thankyou for sharing this fine write Love duncan X

This is a very eloquent poem about the ravages of one of the most cruel diseases that can befall mankind, Richard: Alzheimer's. For one who uses and relies upon their mind, there can be no more evil affliction than this terrible disease. Your superb poem paints a very accurate and moving picture of an Alzheimer's victim in the first three verses, and very touchingly in those final three verses reveals the personality, now lost, of that victim. It is as beautiful and moving a poem as I have yet read on this awful affliction. Carl.

touching ending lines for a very good narration sad, Richard...10

Standing in the shadows looking in to a house filled with darkness wondering if there is anybody inside considering whom that may be stood outside in the gloom. Very touching work. Impatience rewarded.
