You managed to paint a portrait of him, Ann, and it's a beautiful one. So are your other poems too. Their brevity, depth and your dexterity with different forms and styles are things I really admire.
Best wishes,

I think the poet in childhood experienced the same thing which he narrated so very beautifully in the poem. It just strongly reminded me of my childhood and how pleasant it is to remember those innocent bubbling days. Truly this poem touched my heart. Salutes to the poet. Hats offff!!!
Peggy,
You take the time to appreciate the work of others, offer encouragement and leave insightful comments. It's quite obvious you are a kind, intelligent and tenderhearted person, and I can tell you are a child of God. I love to read your comments whenever I come across them on any poem; how they often resonate with me, it's like listening to a friend. Thank you.
Best regards,

My heart goes out to you. I'm just glad you find writing poetry is therapeutic. I found the same when we discovered my husband was terminally ill. Do keep writing. Very best wishes, Ann.

Something about this poem really caught my attention. You have used some wonderful phrases. Really special. I must look up and see what else you have written. Best wishes, Ann.
Peggy,
I wondered if you write poetry yourself. I don't seem to be able to find any of your work online...
Very best wishes,
Ann

I wanted a poem for a funeral to express my gratitude to those who might be there but not know what to say. To me this fit so well
When my mom found out I had depression because I ended up hospitalized, she said stuff like this isn't you, you were always so happy. What people don't realize is that those who hurt the most often put on the biggest smile. We don't want people to feel any amount of what we feel, so we prioritize their happiness above all else. I'm so sorry for what you're going through. I wish I could tell you I've figured out how to cope with the crushing darkness. Unfortunately, I still battle with it myself. Even on my best days, it's there, lurking in the corner of my mind. Just know you're not alone, and many people like us go on day by day, just trying to survive.
