My first thought?
Carolyn, my friend, left today-with no announcement or
The hint of a plan.
Ouch!
A friend left without saying anything.
Is something wrong in Denmark?
This is a good opening that sets the tone of the verse
And this one filled in the fine print.
In a word, it says she's gone
The books of the voracious reader
Stacked between puzzle boxes
And picture albums were teetering on the floor.
The lovely colored pictures and
I liked the poem and made me remember some melancholy moments when I made decisions to leave somewhere and just left.
Maybe that's what you set up to do in we readers.

Thanks so very much for the sweet comments I truly appreciated.
Comment from Tina Crute
I really enjoyed reading your poem, even though it was written about a sad subject. You brought to mind images to which I can relate. At the end of the poem,where you described her room, I could almost see the stacks of belongings there, and feel the sting of her absence. I wish you luck in the contest, though you may not need much of it. This is a special poem!

Your words meant a great deal? and I thank you so much.
Comment from Mastery
Super poetry, my friend. Such sensibilities in such a rather brief bu heartfelt poem. One can tell this person meant many things to you, LO. I especially noted these lines:
"The last visions of her never enough
To fill
A friendship's
Memory."
Bless you and your friend. Bob

"Carolyn", is a well-written, but more than a little depressing piece. This talented poet's work left a chill lingering in the late afternoon air. You KEEP WRITING and I'll KEEP READING. I look forward to seeing your next post.

Comment from Mark Valentine
So sorry for your loss. Grief is an emotion that is often better expressed in poetry, as you do so well here. Some of the phrases you use hint at this perhaps being a suicide? I hope not , if only because that seems to intensify and complicate the grief of the survivors.
You paint a wonderful picture of your friend (I'm not sure I have ever met a voracious reader that wasn't also a good person). And your last lines beautifully express the experience that our loved ones, when they pass, take up residence in our memories. Lovely.
