The message was so sad. Bidding goodbyes ca n be real sad and departing can be a difficult thing to do. You were able to catch fully the pain of separation in so few words. Keep writing.

This is very good. We seem to play and replay the conversations in our head, but does it change anything? Good little naani on missing someone and regret. Marilyn

While I'm not an authority of this style of poetry, I can report that this work is beautifully and perfectly done. The artwork seemed a bit uncommon but I have no suggestions to improve this work and thank this author for a fine read! HIS GRAYNESS: Vance

Isn't it amazing how some words will react and repeat in one's mind for ages after the event. A beautifully written and presented Naani as an entrant in this contest, a perfect syllable and lone count for the contest, good luck, blessings, Roy

Intense and one can feel what your words convey. That is what makes for excellent poetry, in my opinion I loved the picture choice also with this. Parting words . . . ug. It makes me hurt thinking about them. Been there. Great job!

You said a great deal in this short well written poem. The last line is very important to the poem and makes the "pain" clear. Well done.

OOooo! Excellent Naani poem conveys a great truth - very hard to get over something when the memory is fresh and painful. I see no errors. Well done!

Memories hold no matter how hard we might try to get rid of them sometimes. The picture seems appropriate, in that it portrays many strands of thought, nature, light, all of what we are made of. I think you have made a good job of this!

What a poignant poem. Well done. I like your use of punctuation and capitalization. It divides your words into two parts as they should be. It very much helps with the reading. And the fact that you do not use a period at the end is also an effective technique. It leaves your words echoing with the reader as they do in the silence and your memory. Nice job all around.
