Your imagery is very true: :" our love flourished
till the spring flowers crumbled
and the summer beyond my dreams
crumbled also. This is beautifully written.
My friend Mary has most recently passed. She was my best best friend. She and I used to joke about if we were looking for a relationship by going on those dating sites we would have to ask for someone that was close to 80. Mary probably would have had to ask for someone 90. That's so funny. I don't know your age so I don't know what age you would have to be hunting for on a relationship website.period in spring the item of my life and brought to my heart and rempt of hope and our love flourished to the being flowers crumbled and the sun beyond my dreamscrumbled also crumbled crumbled crumbled crumbled

Hi Jim,
This is a good free verse about a short lived love affair that one wants to revive. It doesn't seem he has much hope of it happening though. But one never knows with love.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Good luck in the contest.
Have a wonder weekend.
Joan

Saying goodbye is never an easy thing to do, especially if goodbye is not our choice. Your music choice was icing on the cake to this beautiful poem.

Very nicely done.
Blessings
Janet

This is a beautiful poem, and it's so sad. Lost love is so painful, grieving for a person who still loves and breathes but without you in their lives. I'm sure love will come a knocking once again. Well done and Best wishes

I have to say that your music choice brought back a flood of memories and emotions. I sang along with every word. Lol
Those of us old enough to have more than one love can definitely relate to your heartfelt love poem.
Thank you for sharing this with us.

Oh so sad! A really nice poem. I easily identify with the words and sentiments. Lost love? It can be a real bummer. You have captured it so nicely. Good job.

This poem, Saying Goodbye, has the proper formatting and reminds the readers of those short relationships which spin fast then end with a sigh. I hope you are staying strong and loving life.

A sad goodbye, an unwanted parting is portrayed beautifully in this poem, Jim. Whether old or young the sadness is still just as cutting. Beautifully written Jim.
Cheers
