This is a devastating and sad theme. It truly broke my heart as a mother. My son is 18 and the thought of loosing him is more than I could even come close to imagining. I know the images and premonitions you have capotured within the lines. I am so sorry for your loss. jeana

Oh no....I think my own heart stopped just now.

I am so very sorry. I can't even begin to imagine the pain your heart is in.

The message of you piece is all that matters here. The fact that it is beautifully written simply adds to it's beauty.

How very sad and tragic.

I am so very sorry for you friend.

Structure - well constructed and developed
Rhyme - consistent throughout
Rhythm - nice easy flow.

What a wonderful tribute to one you've loved and lost. I can't imagine the pain, but I know what I would have missed out on. Wonderful poem.

I'm sorry that you're son died so young at 19. Great job with everything and I'm sure that your son would be happy that you did this poem. Amazing job.

Hello PUPA
a very difficult letter/poem to read because of the memory of the passing of your son--

It is hard to make sense of a loss.
I am so sorry especially when it's you son's birthday.

    No, we cannot make sense of so many things in this world, but maybe one day we shall, if we believe enough.
    Thanks for your heartfelt review, Gert.

Very poignant and the letter style poem is unique. Great flow of memories, feelings and words.

Sincerest sympathies. It's a crime when parents outlive their children.

I especially like your free-style, in that sense and in your expression. I felt that this was something from your life's story, and even if it wasn't, I still enjoyed the emotions brought forth by your words.
Your last line struck a deep note inside, life is indeed a prison of sorts, we are governed by forces we do not understand and limited by our physical being.
Thanks for an enjoyable read!

I am so sorry that the funeral triggered the sadness of your loss that occurred some time ago. Using the letter format is very creative and appropriate as a tribute, but also to communicate your everlasting feelings. Your last line is filled with pathos and very powerful.

    Thanks Joan, your review is kind and heartfelt. It was not his funeral, that happened 13 years ago. It was his birthday.

So sad to lose a child anyway. I have none and can only imagine how horrible this emotion is. I have lost three people this year. I try to remember we will all be together in Heaven someday. joan marie
