Exceptional Her passing took not long Carolyn by LoannaLois Free Verse Poetry Contest contest entry

Carolyn, my friend, left today-with no announcement or Hint of a plan. I knew she had been feeling Melancholy That had cast a pall Upon the air. But still, I did not prepare For her absence... Or was that non-action A figment of imagination Swirling in the cloud of denial? Sheer white curtains swirl now- No longer a fact; denied. Carolyn is gone. The books of the voracious reader Stacked between puzzle boxes And picture albums were teetering on the floor. The lovely colored pictures and Framed puzzles hung in uneven angles from the walls. One more look around the room. It will no longer be Carolyn's. The last visions of her never enough To fill A friendship's Memory. Recognized Author Notes I will miss her so much. She taught me to have confidence in my thought...and hope in my heart.
