I'm glad to see Nora on this page. She's a wonderful friend to have. : ) For the poem.... big eraser and wipe out all those huge, humungous, epically gigantic.... little periods. : ) Beautiful poem, sweet, sincere, and darling. : ) I have written a few for lost friends and family and they have taken on different forms and lengths, alike. I really like the one you chose.... I don't like repetition, and you do it perfectly!! xoxo -Mark

I saw her once at the funeral, and I couldn't cry. I've been crying ever since. Bt recently, I've been better.

Because it hurts. Time never heals. When I look in the mirror, and I smile and show my teeth, I remember my grandmother's false dentures and how she only ever wore the top set of dentures, never the bottom, because the bottom didn't fit. Whenever I see my teeth or my grandma's dog's teeth, I remember her dentures, and it hurts. And I just remember her little quirks and it... It's hard to keep going.
It's very very good. Sometimes, I think, poems are the best when you just get an idea, and go off of that. Whether it takes two seconds, or an hour, it doesn't matter. It just matters that you were really into the poem.
I think your heart was in this one. :) the Blossom with Beauty repetition also adds a very nice tint of hope and bright futures to the poem, despite the passing of the deceased.
Very well done. :)

A beautiful poem about death. I have similar beliefs. Good to use nature to remember the good people we had in our life. Thank you for sharing the excellent poem.
