I am so glad you got an honorable mention in the contest you entered. I do like your poem. It's honest and straightforward, easily understood. You pulled me in with the melancholy tone of your poem. The sadness rings through it through your words, pulling me in, making me care and share in the deep loss of love.

This would make a great country and western song. Good job. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Love, LinnAnn
