Congratulations on your second place finish, Darla. Your meter is improving. Your poem is full of good advice for someone who has lost a loved one.

Ciao poet , you now have 3 votes!

My mamma died suddenly so I didn't get time to prepare.

Just 4 days before we had an argument and we were still not talking... that made her passing more painful.

Pa came back to Italy to live with me ( we sold the villa in Spain where my parents had been living for the last 16 years).

I wanted to be there for my father at least , instead he died while I was out doing some shopping for the evening meal.

The doctor had made a visit earlier that day and told us that pa s cold was not serious and with meds he would recover, instead less than an hour later he passed away.

Hence , I missed out a second time( sigh)

Pa s passing was harder because I had to deal with it alone.

When my mother left us we had each other s support.

Eight months after his death , I started to think in rhyme and I wrote my first ever poem.

I find fanstory and subscribed , poetry helped me move on.

    Why did you say your mama just died?
reply by tempeste on 16-Apr-2023
    The first phrase is either way but reading on it is obvious I was talking in the past...

    anyway, it was not my intention to mislead.

    Sorry

    I get it, you were talking about your parents deaths cause my poem is called death
reply by tempeste on 16-Apr-2023
    Yes, your opening line is:

    We're never ready to say good-bye

    That's why I spoke about my personal experience I missed out on saying goodbye.

    Ciao!

The lesson here is to live everyday as if it is our last as we are a long time dead and may people waste their life in depression and lost hope, I enjoyed your sentiment here and your end rhymes, love Dolly x x x
