A very well-written heartfelt poem regret is always the cause of something good we did not do when we had the chance but let it slip by. A terrible emotion that is always too late to make a difference.

I think this is a good entry for the Emotions writing prompt.
Your verse tells of the grief felt at the loss of a loved one.
Well done and good luck to you with the contest.

You do a great job expressing the sadness and regret felt due to estrangement. I like the personification of the wind and the petals representing blood. Good luck in the contest.

This work has reached the exceptional level

This is an incredible poem. The imagery you evoke is just heartrendingly beautiful.

The grave wears winter white./The rain leaves droplets of tears.
My flowers spread petals of blood,/thicker than water, for you, my daughter

You have a remarkable voice, and can spark emotions in the reader in a way that most authors here cannot. Excellent work!

    You have made my day. What a wonderful review. I think in poetry some topics touch the heart in the poet and the reader for an emotional combination.

Hello fellow writer. Thank you for sharing your poem, I think you executed well within the rules of the writing prompt. Emotions aren't always easy to write about, but it could be very cathartic. Good job and good luck in the contest.

This is an especially poignant poem. It conveys emotion well, and it is befitting of the contest prompt {thumbs up}.

As an aside, some time ago, I was reading the memoirs of a nurse who cared for the terminally ill. She said that regret was the sentiment most often expressed by the patients.

Good luck with your entry in the voting booth {smiles}.

What a Truely heartfelt reinterpretation of The feelings mentioned in your attached notes. The lamenting and wondering really struck me and one can feel it's genuineness.
My condolences and God's Healing Comfort to you.
