Sadness I do feel
Greater than an open wound

Thank you.
My last poem Apple Pie was an attempt at a 10 line poem starting with one syllable.
I like haikus

Dear Clentin

I felt this poem as well as absorbed it. I lost my Dad nearly 10mths ago and the grief is ever present for me, still. It has been the hardest time I've had since my Mum passed. Your poetry is like an opening flower. Blooming.

Kind regards Jayne

Grief

Hello, Clentin,
So acutely descriptive - "greater than an open wound." I feel the sincerity of your title.
Thank you,

The many stages of grief...but "greater than an open wound" surely sums it up for me. A beautiful, short write that says so much.
