Wow! This is really a powerful poem. I can feel the strong emotions and hurt that lead one to feel this way. Your words really touched me in a deep, deep way. The pleading at the end was so powerful!

Ohhhhh, Mystery Contestant. I'm so sorry to read your Author's Notes. That must have been excruciating for you. This is a sad-but-lovely tribute to someone who meant the world to you, as I bet your friendship did to him/her. This is a treasure of a poem. I am sending you love tonight. xoxox

    Oh, yaaaay! This is very good news, indeed!!

    And thank you for liking my name. So many people mispronounce it. I get called Rachel and Raquel and Racial and --still by my in-laws, many decades later now-- Rochelle.

This is very emotional but sad. Excellent writing. It is full of good sensory words and vibrant imagery. The image supports your words well. Thank you for sharing this. Many writers will relate to this in various ways.

I hope you are doing well. Everyone here can talk with you if you need.

Alex

    Thank you, Alexandra. I very much appreciate your kind and thoughtful review. Many years have passed and I'm doing well, it's more a memory now that surfaces less often. Not sure why I thought to write about it now. Thanks for the offer of your shoulder.

I liked your poem. I can feel your pain in your words. The picture goes nice with the words. Life. Today is so hard. Some days are harder than other days. Soon, God will bring peace to the earth. Very good job

    Thank you, Brenda, for reading and your comments. Yes, today is scary and who knows what tomorrow will bring. The entire world is so unsettled by people who want power over all. I think it's time to bring our people home to protect our own country. It's hard to watch the news. God Bless.
