It an interesting poem, with lots of visual and tactile imagery, some aural imagery as well. I especially like the sound of "tossed on the grassy/but silent spring trail." The abrupt turn-around at the end adds to it--gives one a sense that the whole relationship is over, and the person voicing the poem is looking back.

This is a very well written poem about tears. The ones that maybe aren't so necessary looking to some, but then the tears that are necessary. Very good words and imagery from the art work. I enjoyed reading and reviewing it. Blessings, Teri

I like the images of nature that you describe in your poem. You have a variety of life stuff that adds to the feel and flow of your words. The image and reason for tears is clear in your words.

Your poem is profound. It's difficult to know where to begin. Your use of imagery is poignant, especially the blue blossom.You have good use of alliteration, especially your s's. I've never read anything quite like this and I certainly hope the other readers are able to honor the many ways we grieve. Sometimes little things seem to others to be trite but this poem expresses that the occasion does not matter but it is how it strikes the heart. Well expressed

This is an outstanding descriptive poem. We, no, I cry with tears staining my dusty, wrinkled face. A dead pet laying in the street. A baby abandoned in a garbage can. Talking to my wife's headstone. You are the poet who put it in lyrical form. We do not need a college education to understand your words. Very well done. Thank you.

I am a very emotional person and I do cry over many of these things. TV shows, when I would go watch my kids perform I would cry and now I cry when my grandchildren are on stage. I am just so proud of them. I very much relate to the poem you have written here. It is very Lovely. Sherman541

I liked this one, it had such a nice rhythm to it, I could almost feel the words falling out of my head, sounding along to it. The theme was dark, but at the same time lovely.
