This is a sad poem because it reminds me if my mom, who didn't recognize me at the end of her life. The love thats inside however, never goes away. Thank you for sharing

Comment from GWHARGIS
This is so sad. I can only assume that it is dealing with a loved ones alzheimers or dementia. The thought of forgetting those we love or the memories we share is heartbreaking. This was a truly beautiful yet sad poem that was written with undying love. Gretchen

Fading is a hauntingly interesting nonet about Alzheimer's disease. I picked your poem because you already had 13 reviews, and I wanted to help you get to 15.

This poem was at once very beautiful and very sad. I also like the picture you included. I sincerely hope that this is fictional. Thank you for sharing this poem here, and best wishes to you.

I can only imagine how sad and frustrating it must be to have a close loved one with dementia or Alzheimer's--how helpless it must make the family feel. Your excellent, moving nonet provides the reader a glimpse . . .

Comment from Pam Lonsdale
What a lovely, poignant piece of writing about a disease that is so horrible and seems so unfair.
You nailed the requirements and this is a legitimate contender. Good luck!

I can tell that it's a beloved person in your life, suffering from that dread malady, dementia or other, it must be most upsetting, it seems like one realised the body only contains our essence, it's not our essence, well done Faith, great nonet, good luck, blessings Roy

This is a very well written Nonet poem you have penned for the contest. As I was reading this it made me think of a loved one with dementia or even MS. You used very good descriptive and heartfelt words. Very beautiful imagery. Best wishes in the contest. Teri

Comment from Pam (respa)
-Nice artwork and presentation, Faith.
-The syllable count is good, along with the topic.
-Effective imagery describes how this person is changing
as he/she ages and "memories dim."
-"Into the fog you fade" is an excellent line with
a comparison to the fading memories, along with alliteration.
-You ask a good question at the end.
-Good luck in the contest. It is a very good entry.
