The other day

I like the way in which you've used subtlety to convey such sadness. Well done blighters

A very touching poem.  Grief makes everything seem flat.

This is ACE.

very sad but very special poem...appreciate the starkness, makes the keynote 'my heart was never strong enough-'  phrase and the ending all the more devastating...wonderful piece

Deeply sad and there's a tenderness in your word arrangement that makes it hurt more.

You move quietly through this list of events as an observer, fascinated and mildly amused, perhaps, at the others encountered in this story that subtly and naturally leads to need and loss. After all the previous events, the last part is visually sad - without milking it - which makes it all the more poignant. I got the feeling that although there is the regret we all can expect to feel, anyone who cares that much, can't have been all that bad, and reading this as a mother, I imagine his would have known she was loved. That's what I got from reading, anyway.

poignant,but life is a cycle, mum stepped off, keep pedalling. 

Sad read, coincides with my mother's anniversary, matched my mood, a lovely bitter-sweet poem.

Think this is sad,but well written,love the things mentioned,the robin,help love of your mum.

Blighters Rock. The experiences life,we have to face well written. Things are put their sometimes.I

believe,anniversay coiming up marvellous black cat,love affinity gave all,still sending white feathers.
