Once wrote a memorial Entitled, "Forget Me Not"
She had committed suicide after the death of her son Christopher from an apparent suicide overdose.
Thanks for sharing.

Forget me not where a princess's flower grows (princess Diana's flower). She did have hardships but was always so graceful. Like your poem.

When I look at the image and see these gorgeous flowers, it makes me think of spring. We are having hardships of weather (worst in a decade), this December. I'm sure the roads are bringing hardship because of dangerous driving conditions.

I like your Senryu poem- good picture presentation- good connection between lines- poem seems to be referring to a time in life where crossroads where countered - where choices were made- causing deep scars - still alive in the subconscious- unable to forget- good job

The picture was fantastic and the senryu was so delightful, Gypsy. I originally thought it was my imagination regarding the tree and the field of forget me nots. But it wasn't! I definitely saw the scars. Very well done and greatly enjoyed. Blessed Be n Hugs!!!

Opening old wounds can be dangerous. I think one is better off not going there. Hopefully they learned from it when it first happened. Your poem and the artwork are perfect together. Thank you for sharing.

Some old memories can be very painful, the can gnaw at the heart of one's resentment, it takes a lot of effort to overcome ill feeling, it takes much resolve and courage. Beautifully written Gypsy, blessings Roy

A poignant write as we remember the bad times and know we cannot change them. It is best to move on and leave these memories behind and make new ones, a poignant Senryu, love Dolly x

Your poetry, and the images you add to them, are spectacular. This one is not a disappointment. I found it beautiful, and the words were well chosen. I enjoyed reading this lovely poem.

Going over past incidents, some happy, some sad, can be a very tricky experience. Opening old wounds can lead to incredibly painful scars. Can you survive the reinjury? Is it even worth the possibility?
