This is a sad poem about loss and grief and it is hard parting with possessions of someone who was once close to us, a poignant write, full of sorrow here as we move on with life, love Dolly x

We own a very highly strung Moodle dog, he can't stop yipping in the car, but we've learned that putting Elaine's dressing grow on the seat calms home down. Well done, excellent post, blessings Roy

This is a statement of loss and missing your loved one.
Well done.
...
I've gotten a lot of my suits from places that clothing is donated from dead people.
I really don't mind wearing non-new clothing.
And of course, I've donated quite a lot myself through the years, especially when my wife passed.
Thanks for sharing this and have a great day.
Doctor Ricky

Hi Gypsy, your poem is filled with good sensory appeal, and this is a poem that many will/can relate to. Of special note:

I cuddle with the sweater

(G, I'm sure that many people have done this. Also, food for thought:
"your" sweater vs. "the" sweater. Perhaps, "the" is better for alliteration purposes. I'm more of a visual gal. Lol.)

Well done. Excellent photo choice. Keep the blue waters flowing.

    Thank you for the feedback, it's good but it's not what I mean. The ''yours'' let people know that she is missing one specific person.

    Thank you very much for taking the time to read and review my poem. Have an awesome day!

My mom still has Dad's special chair. She swears she sometimes sees Dad still sitting in it. I am betting he does. Thank you for sharing this club entry with us. It caused me to think of Dad.

This was sweet, sad, and sentimental. I enjoyed reading your poem. You expressed your emotions well. I know what it's like to donate a deceased loved one's belongings to Goodwill. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

Gypsy,

Do like the sentiment expressed in your poem. Sadly, that scent will fade with age. Good image and author note make for a good presentation.

Edit suggestion: ... still holds (sic) your ...

This work has reached the exceptional level

Perfectly composed yet balanced so well between sadness and good deeds.
The overall presentation and image suit the solemn occasion.
Much can be conveyed with a concise and effective poem.
Blessings
