She writes of people, places, things,
of memories once given.

What a beautiful poem. Real emotion told in simple words and pleasing rhyme.
A beautiful tribute to a wonderful sister ceremoniously rich in tone. A very compassionate composition written with clarity of thought and mind. Very heartfelt. Thanks for sharing.
Her poems capture life, but never tell of anger.... of strife. when my tongue was mean and foul. She taught me to be good and kind.... She has been a sister, mother, friend.... //..... Thanks for introducing such a lovely and caring sister.
The typical sister. A beautiful sibling relationship... can feel the love. Thank you..
Thank you for writing a comment on my poem that is just as beautiful as this tribute to your sister! Kind regards, Margaret Alice

Thanks Bri. Just this week the news had a young guy in this city that had a lot of mail at his home that was never delivered.
She taught me to be good and kind, and drink the bitter cup. She made me promise that I would before she let me up. Verily, a lovely tribute to a lovely sister by a lovely brother, Loved reading and commenting, .....................................10
A towering and touching tribute my friend!
Thanks Howard. I started this one day and couldn't stop until it was done.
You were right I did like this poem you wrote for your sister!
Had to come back and read this marvelous poem again. Your sister must be pleased with the praise you have heaped upon her.
A very pleasant poem. It's simple in the best possible way. If I compared poems to various drinks this would be fresh water. Your sister should be proud!
Your sister is right, rhyming can be so military and confining, there is much beauty in alliteration and assonance which can enrich any parlance, why stick to end rhyme when rhyme can hide anywhere in a line? And this is a beautiful tribute to your sister.
Thanks Margaret. I think Poe used internal rhymes. He is one of my favorites.
I have already commented on this a couple of times, but it was certainly worth coming back and reading again!
