This is a beautiful poem, full of such strong emotion and heartache. You express well the feeling of grief and pain, even in so little words.

The rhyming is flawless (abcb... at least, I think!)

It's nice when we have someone in our lives by whom we can always depend. This post has made me more aware of how I should appreciate my closest friends, after all that they have done.

Thank you for sharing this tearful and inspiring piece,
October

I really like the image that you chose to go along with your poem. Perhaps your back round color could be a bit sadder (pale blue). One line, 'straddle lost hopes abyss' sounds off.

I love the picture. I love the poem. You show strong empathy. Losing a loved one is heart breaking. Death steals part of your soul. It hurts just as bad if the loved one doesn't die but the love dies. Great work.

Your verses had both rythmn and satisfied the writing prompt of showing empathy. Only someone who has gone through a similar experience can offer the comfort suggested in this poem. Very good job.

This is a wonderful poem of empathy with grief with a perfect picture to match. A little suggestion - perhaps you could do without the punctuation? Also, just a little spag, change "worlds" to "world's" (as in world has). Very well written.

Very well done. Spoken with just the right
amount of empathy for the one suffering.
Your description, rhythm and flow are excellent
as you come down the page.
You show a lot of compassion and I am sure this
will be an excellent sympathy card. They are
never expressive enough for me. This one would
definitely make it.
Good luck in the contest.

Grief is a hurt that takes time to heel. You have created a good poem with that theme and the rhyme scheme was well done. The cadence was good and presented your theme well.

Very nice rhyming, including internal rhyme, nice flow to your poem. You can feel the sadness throughout your poem. Great imagery in words as "encountered that thief" and "lost hopes abyss". Overall a very nice poem.
