This was a beautiful and uplifting poem. I'm sure he is appreciating this outpouring of support from his FanStory family. This gave such hope of healing and after time passes and the rawness is worn away, he will start the slow process of healing. Gretchen

Comment from Frank Malley
Hi Debbie. It's been a while. I was pained to hear of your physical sufferings, and I have to admire your ability to transcend suffering, at least some of it. Your poem, "For Nomi," contained deep feeling and left me wondering who Nomi was and what caused her suffering, although the endless stream of change that is mentioned is something we all experience, and this gave me some insight. I might have made your last line to read "and in your mourning..." - it seemed to connect this line to Nomi's pain.
We had written back and forth about Dylan Thomas, and I learned from what you told me. There's quite a lot about Thomas on youTube, including an interview with his wife. I have enlarged my sense of the man and his passion for poetry by watching these short pieces, and I was thrilled to see that he used a diagrammatic technique to try different words in lines, something that I have sometimes done.
May all your days have moments of recognition and thrill. Frank Malley

Thank you so much, Frank, for such a kind, thoughtful and caring review which I greatly value. I appreciate your suggestion and will look again. Nomi is a lovely member on this site who sadly lost his wife recently just a couple of days after their 51st anniversary. Bless you for this. Debbie
Comment from Verna Cole Mitchell
This is a lovely poem of comfort for Nome. You have described some aspects of suffering loss of a loved one in beautiful words, and your last line was perfect. (My poem is online now.)

Comment from Harry Craft
Such a sad subject, but yet, such a real subject. Death is never easy for any of us. However, we all have to do it some time in our life. This is a great poem on that subject Debbie. Keep up the great work!

Hello Debbie,
I just found out today about Nomi's wife passing. I don't know the man or follow his work, but we can all relate to losing someone we love. It was a very nice poem that you penned for him in his time of loss and overwhelming grief. Thanks for your kindness.
Blessings,
Tom

What a lovely poem for Nomi
I like the thought of the clock having stopped and nothing seems the same.
Wonderful lines in iambic pentameter I'm sure he appreciates it.
Take care

Thank you so much, Wendy! I wanted to keep it short to avoid delving into something immensely personal. As ever, I greatly value your thoughtful comments. Take care Debbie
Comment from Jasmine Girl
What a poem that described Nomi's sorrow very precisely. I noticed many cross and internal rhyming here that you used it very well. Also I like your use of alliteration.
Well done.

Comment from F. William Lester
The extra star is for this and the previous post I read and just finished reviewing. A wonderful book of poems. You're such a skilled poet and your words resonate so beautifully. I assume Nomi is a close friend. Death indeed is sad, but something we all must face. Well done. Well written. Thanks for sharing it and have a wonderful week. Be well.

Thank you so much, Frank, for spoiling me with your lovely comments and stars! I think, judging from the response here, Nomi is a close friend to many, the kindest man with great dignity. Many thanks for your time and support, Debbie

Comment from Begin Again
Losing the love of your life, one you believe will be by your side forever, is beyond painful and difficult to bear. but in the eyes of the Lord, we must remember that they physically are gone, but their love remains and never will go away. I hope that Nomi finds some relief in all the poems that have been shared.
Smiles, Carol
