Excellent

I enjoyed this. It's an emotional and powerful message to a friend - very close friend. I like the message in your poem and the power of your words. Vey nicely written.

Excellent

This is another well written poem and words from your heart. You used very good descriptive words and very good imagery from the art work you chose. I have had losses in my life that hurt, but nothing like the losses you have had my friend! May God bless you! Teri

I wrote a poem for my deceased wife called,
"Stir the Stew'
Yes, and I let a real writer and Poet of Laureate.
(who was actually entertaining us)
Yes, and it was on HBO.
Now, I can't remember his name.
But I let him read.
And he told me it was good but you need to make your stew still more presentable. Which is of course adjective content.
Thanks again,
