Comment from Janice Canerdy
This is such a descriptive, well-written, moving poem. Memories can be blissful or painful, especially when the memory is of one taken too soon in a car accident.

Your loved one will forever be in your heart. That special one is looking down and has read your well-written though very sad poem. You will always be in the heart of this angel. From you words, I know to whom you are speaking. Hold the angel dear and know you will be reunited. Best wishes.
Respectfully, Jan

Comment from Helvi2
Hi Kahpot, I know how hard it is to write about personal pain. I wrote a poem a few years back and tears rolled down my face with every line I wrote. I wrote it because it's hard to keep those feelings inside and I thought it could help others. To ask you to say more would be to much! You don't have to elaborate! Your words express more than you know! Expressing pain in words to share with others is not an easy task! I think you said what you needed to very well! I hope that writing this helped you heal some! Blessings!!!! :o) Helvi

That's definitely something to
smile about! It was incredibly scary for me to write the poem I did, but I ended up helping other people so I'm so glad I wrote the poem, I know the angst you felt when you wrote your poem :o) :o) :o)
Comment from Suzanna Ray
Dear kapot, in my mind this story should be a winner, it is so filled with pathos, that I am wondering if it is not autobiographical. Sometimes the imagination of good writers, like you, seem so real; that I cannot tell if they are true, or only fiction.

Hello, Kym,
I am sorry for your loss. I have experienced a lot of loss and grief in my life and I can empathize with you. The sonnet is beautiful and you should do well in the contest. Love the presentation too. It reflects the sad mood.

This is a nicely written story in a poem. It has a nice flow and rhyme as well. Oh that's such a sad story. Very well done. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from AnnaLinda
Kym,
I'm sorry if this story is real for you. One very impacting line is...
"I stumble now from time to time my strength's buried in a box of pine"
Wow -
I also really like the following lines:
"the sun still shines yet not as bright
nights are darker, without *loves light"
* You do need an apostrophe on "loves light" - (love's light)
I am so sorry you lost your love.
You are brave to share this - that being the case.

Thank you AnnaLinda, unfortunately true-though many years past, being on this sight makes bravery easier as people understand, I am glad some lines caught your eye, typo fixed-many thanks, as always very much appreciated****kahpot

You are welcome, Kym.
Comment from Marigo J. Stathis
This is an excellent poem. Heartwrenching, genuine, accessible and readily understood. The line, "the sun still shines yet not as bright" is brilliant and rings true. For when a loved one dies, time eventually heals but the grief never quite goes away. Rather, it becomes a shadow with which one learns to co-exist and live. The term "loves light" should be "love's light". Punctuation matters, of course. Overall, a super endeavor. Great job, as usual, Kahpot! Have a lovely day and good luck with the contest! :)

Comment from Raffaelina Lowcock
Yes, you have written it well enough for the message of your loss to come through. The memories of what you shared should be the focus of your reveries. Don't lose the good times.
