| = Very sad, sensitiv words. | Sydney Krivenko [31.Aug.07 18:26] |
| Very sad, I am sorry to read this. I hope there was no suffering involved. Very sensitiv. Should I say it is a good poem? I don't know considering the subject. I would rather not comment on the style in this context. Let's say, I like your wording and comparisons and your courage to share such a sad occasion. I hope it is not too fresh in your mind. Cheers, Sydney | |

| ...in fact, Sydney, this happened at Christmas 91. It was necessary to put quite a few years between his passing away and me writing this poem. Anyway; feelings connected to personal loss are so deep that anyone who writes eventually will have to deal with them. Thank you very much for your comment! | |

| "How much love & control must there be in a Home"... RUBÉN BLADES 1991 Love to our beloved, control not to break us down. We are slowly consumed yet love somehow keeps us standing. Touching lines yet a serene reflection! SONGO | |

Brilliant comment, Edilberto! And heart-warming as I once again look back on that bereaving Christmas. Your friend Willy | |
