Ramona, This is a very lovely, but very sad poem you have penned about missing your mom. You used great heartbreaking words that tells of a heart that has been broken from loss. I can totally relate as my mother died at 69 from lung cancer. We were very close too. I pray the Lord bless you and comfort you each day by His Holy Spirit. love and blessings, teri

Many people think that there is a time limit on grief. I know there is not. Your heartbreak came across strongly in this poem. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you. I am sorry for your loss.

This reminds me of my mom. If I had died, I think it woulda killed her. This is a sad and brooding poem that pairs with the picture to create a scene that's too sad for tears, only a blank stare with blank feelings that are alone on an island without the hope of rescue.

    Dear Bryce,

    Thank you for such an insightful review. You know, it kills me that my mom went first, but I was her only child, I think she would have been lost without me.

Ramona,

This is an excellent entry in the No Rules Poetry Contest. You've captured in this well-written poem all the emotional stages of grief following the loss of your 73 year old mother. The rhyming flows well and the imagery woven throughout your poem speaks to the common experience of grieving following the loss of a loved one.

All the best in the contest,

Eugene

I am so sorry for your loss, truly. She must've been pretty special. I think this contest was a good one to post this poem in so you aren't bound by structure to express your feelings. You expressed them well here and I wish you well in the contest. Your mom would be proud of you:)

A beautiful poem, albeit a sad one, and there are griefs that we manage, but never get over. Some things on earth we just don't understand, but will one day. Thank you for sharing - I hope you do well in the contest.

We miss our loved ones every day...it seems grief is magnified as we gather for a holiday and the hole in our heart feels even bigger.

I list my mom at sixty...36 years ago, now.

I'm sorry for your loss.

We'll meet again in God's time!

Your poem speaks to the grief we all feel when someone that close to us passes away and we are separated from them. I asked those questions too when my dad died. Why? Why all this pain and suffering, what does a life amount to if this is the way it ends? But we have to have faith in the life everlasting, that Jesus will wipe all the tears from our eyes, that we will be reunited with those that have passed before us. I wrote a story called The Door into the Dark on this very subject. It's in my collection In Real Time in my portfolio if you want to check it out. estory

This poem is a lovely tribute to your late mum. I'm sorry your pain is still so raw, I think of my mum every day and probably always will. Well written Ramona
