Hi Zara,
This poem surely fits the contest well. I hope it does well. You are right to say it is time to forgive yourself for not returning her texts. She probably knows you are sorry and miss her.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Hope you did well in the contest.
Happy Holidays.
Joan
P.S. I would like you to know that I just published a book titled "The Interloper and other stories in prose and poetry". It is available on Amazon.com and there is a link to it at the end of my profile page.

Thank you for your reply. This poetry did not place in the contest, but I'm glad I wrote it. It feels like a good way to say good bye to my friend and let go of all the regrets I have. Thank you for letting me know of your book. I will try and check it out.

Comment from Patty Mazzurco
Your poem is heartfelt and poignant, capturing the bittersweet nostalgia and regret of lost friendship. The way you weave memories of your time with Tilly into the poem shows a deep sense of longing and remorse. The imagery of playing card games and the details about drifting apart add a personal touch that makes the loss feel even more real.
One suggestion would be to adjust the rhythm in a few places to enhance the flow. For example, in the line "We lost all touch / The very next year," you might consider something like "We lost touch the very next year" for smoother reading. Also, varying the line lengths slightly can add a more natural rhythm to the poem.
Overall, you've created a touching tribute to a lost friend, and your emotions come through strongly. It's clear you've put a lot of thought and feeling into this, and it resonates well with anyone who has experienced similar loss.

Hi, I like your poetry a lot, congrats to your excellent 5star view. I think if and when you can by adding a bit more meaningful touch art or artsy to your poetry with some sort of an artwork - it will bring your work to an exceptional rate. Best to your writing!

A poem with a sense of sadness and loss for a friend, yet such happy memories are laced into the stanzas and the reader shares experiences with the poet of happier times.
