Requiem For a Friend

A little vignette - Quite charming !.

Agree with Hilary , enchanting. Val x

I really like this - beautifully expressed

Absolutely beautiful. x

I have just seen the photo which elicited this. It shows that the power of the poem is such, that you made me believe it was personal !!!.

I thought this was true at first, before I saw the link. You expressed it beautifully.

New Silver-spun-sand
yes it is beautifully explained.
I like all of it, but last verse
is one for me.
Then life moved us on to the end.
Memories we always can go back on and think if only?
Things been different.Looked on photo so many which one.

A gorgeous and tender poem to go with a wonderful picture. The sharing boyfriends line made me laugh out loud! Well done on another little gem, Tina ;)

"jive crazy" those two words just about sum it up for me. fantastic work. you've done great things with this IP.

jason

Thanks, hilary. Glad you found it pleasing;-)

Tina

Val - many thanks to you, for reading and letting me know you enjoyed it.

Tina xx

Glad you enjoyed it. Flicker is quite addictive;-)

Tina

Hilary - yes it's true enough that this poem was prompted by the picture on Flicker, but I think it would be an unusual author who put nothing of themselves in at least some of what they write. So maybe you didn't jump to too many conclusions originally;-)

Thanks once again. Your words more than appreciated.

Tina

Glad you liked it, Julie and many thanks for letting me know;-)

Tina x

Thought that line might 'tickle' you, Magic. Glad you liked it.

Looking at all the photos on Flicker is quite inspiring. I think I might visit the sight a bit more often now.

My thanks to you, as always.

Tina xxx

Sarah - thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.

I was 'jive crazy' too. 'All Shook Up' by the King, was one of my faves. Had to make do with my mum's sideboard as a partner though;-) And I adored Buddy Holly and remember being mortified at his untimely death.

Much appreciate your comments;-)

Tina

A wonderful poem and it really works with the picture. Well done!
