..... she died in her sleep
without warning last night
the note wasn't found
until Tuesday ... so right
was her timing
it spared her the pain
of all my excuses
for leaving again .....

I just read your three posts from today. Absolutely beautiful. So very deserving of the awards you won. I'm so happy you have this blog to post your poetry in. It deserves to be seen.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Mario! Bravo on the awards for this poetry. I am enjoying the poetry; the deep - dark & the whimsy as well. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteDitto Mario and Mr Honeybell ... I am enjoying all of Ingrid's poetry. She had a way with words.
