    Yes I do agree with Tina, another thing is, one can see past or through the window, all the lovely things in your garden (I've read your author page, so I know about the nature being pretty there) but all you see is the reflection, the sadness, it's only you and this feeling, the outside world does not exist.

    oh indeed sad Andrew. You have shown us a vivid image of your pain. This made me think of all the loved ones I have lost.

    Indeed, Donkerman and Tom (pepperdance) are another two friends and poets the world will be less bright with. The past few month have seen a sad ime for poets.

    But if one good thing has come from the posting of this poem, it is the rediscovery of a great poet I had lost contact with when poeticarts dissapeared from the net,
    It will be great to be able to read your fine works again Nicolette.

    Beautifull tribute the way you used also >> my window's<< for most do simply understand those tears but your and their world of perception I think it is that what actualy is in pain. Losing beloved ones comes always hard and it is good to express it esspecialy in the way what would have pleased them.

    Andrew, this is so beautiful!
    ..."two rain drops" to hide the tears.
    I can also add:
    in memory of Donkerman...

    Amazing and moving poem!

    Lovely

    Hi John:
    What a lovely tribute to these two poets. A very spiritual and profound way to celebrate the lives of two poets. We should all be fortunate enough to be remembered in such a manner. Thanks. Bill

    Unfortuneatly John didn't have a web site (as yet) it aws his dream to see his work in print, thankfully his first collection of poetry, Magic Light was released by Paula Brown publishing last Nov and is also avalible as an E-book.
    Peter, has a collection on-line at haikuhut but to view you will need to join.

    A lovely tribute Andrew. I am sorry to hear that you and the world of poetry have lost these individuals. If their work is available on line could you consider adding a link to their sites so that we may share in their work??? Susan

    This was short but full of so much emotion. You are an amazing writer to be able to say so much in such few words. I hope to read more from you soon. Great write! Ill have to bookmark it.

    Very short deeply sad piece, I hope to see something more bright tommorow. But it is pretty well done. Anna

    Oh thats is so sad Andrew, you have written a lovely poem here, a few short words but they somuch more. a lot of depth seen here perhaps every reader will read more or less in them, but I think there is a wealth of feeling in this one.
