I didn't know Pam but your poem is a beautiful way to say goodbye and from what you have written in your Author's notes, is something you not only needed to do but would regret if you didn't. Poem is beautiful.

What a wonderful and well penned tribute to a departed soul. Never too late to express the thoughts of ones heart. A gently rendered tribute.

Hi Linda -Nice tribute to Pam. It's never too late, so don't worry! Better late than never. It shocked us all to hear of her death and as you say we shall miss her - she was such a keen poster. Everyday we got a poem from her. Sleep well Pam. Regards Dorothy

'My Last Reply' is an exceptionally well-written and heart-wrenching piece. Gungalo was a one-off, and her death left a hole which will never be filled. This talented poet's work is a fitting tribute to a poet and writer who truly cared about others.

Lovely message to Pam and I cannot imagine anytime would be too late. She will be missed. Your phrase: just didn't search the sky - is lovely. Am sure she is pleased right now.

To say this choked me up would never explain it.
She was a great friend to me!
I really did plan to go to VI and meet her.
Walking on the beach and getting to know her in person would have been great.
Now,there is a blue butterfly charm that I wear in her memory!
Thanks for this gem!

This is a good poem about a loss of a very dear fanstory member. Though she has left us but she will be remembered through her works. May her soul rest in peace. Amen.

Writing about a last farewell that the author says is "too late."

But since we believe that each of us has a soul, then "too late" is just our mortal human label. Because indeed, if we are soulless, then even a "timely" goodbye seems empty.

The writing is no doubt sad but should not be regretful.
"Please forgive me for posting this so late" is as much a plea to Pam and the readers but so much so also for the writer. Couple this by remembering your ties and keeping alive the memory of your bond.

Good souls always find their place in "good places."

Hello I. Raven,
Beautifully worded 'your last reply to Pam' is really laudable!
Wording is simple as well as impressive.
Smooth and enchanting flow throughout the poem.
Lovely rhyming scheme with lively imagery.
Picture enhances beauty of the poem.
"...you left me with a sigh
now in return
I say to you
this is my last reply
hey you, Linda luff
just want to say good-bye"
Marvelous!
