her teacup filling again
with cold rain

  1. Vivid, poignant poem of loss. A scene of both stasis and change. The survivor or caretaker is not ready to move on, but nature inevitably does. Beautifully penned.

  2. A simply wonderful poem. I am always equally touched by the life stories/careers/backgrounds of contributors, which are interesting works of art unto themselves.
