THE SMILING DIED

Michael Edwards

 

 

THE SMILING DIED

                                                                                               

We broke apart

and in my mind

I hear her voice

and I recall

a time of joy

a time of fun

until the day

she went away

the day

the smiling died.

    Very emotive write. The picture is super and both the words and the drawing complement each other.

    Pathos perfected in these slow sad lines. Great work Michael.

  • Louis Gibbs

    A love twice lost? Sad, indeed! Lost love is an integral experience of life to all it seems. Thanks for this fine expression, Michael.

    Well written and expressed.

    You may call this a 'simple piece', Michael, but it packs a lot of power and meaning beautifully expressed in 'simple' words!
