..... 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 .....

  2. I 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!

  3. Ditto Mario and Mr Honeybell ... I am enjoying all of Ingrid's poetry. She had a way with words.
