Loss

I think the title explains it all...

Tell me about the loss (death) of someone you loved.




Rules:

No StIcKy CaPs
No profanity
Please check spelling
No erotica
No prewrites (sorry)


Well....thats it. I would like anything on the death of a loved one. Family, friends, bf/gf, child...anything.

Make it emotional, of course...and TRY to have some sort of structure to the poem, but its understandable if you dont, this subject I am asking you to write on, isnt the easiest.


Put in your authors box, Love is unconditional. so I know you read the rules.

thanks

  • Final notes:
    My apologies for taking so long to judge, I just returned home from Las Vegas for the poetry convention that was being held. There were some awesome writes entered here and I can honestly say I havent read a "not-so-good" poem yet. They were all great and amazing in their own way. The ones who won a trophy just hit home in some way or touched me. Thank you all for entering I greatly appreciate it.

    Someday my love I will see you again, / I never got to say good-bye. / I never told you I was sorry. / I never asked you why. / Why did you have to go and leave me all alone, / I never wanted you to go away.
