A perfect day-this
But for the glaring-almost blindingly-blazing
Absence of you

Theodora, this is a beautifully heart-felt tribute to a great friend. I am so sorry for your loss. I can truly empathize with you. Earlier this year, I lost a friend through breast cancer. Like you, some of the grieving process was by writing a poem or two. Perhaps, if you are so inclined, you may like to look at my poem, Is There Dancing In Heaven? (Report) Reply

Hi Theo
A nice poem.
Promising a new day
Of peace and contentment beautiful. Such hopes and promises keep the world livable. But, Theo, Why dont you tell us more about Renee Nicole?

AndI have posted a series of six poems on the story of 'Yayati', narrated on the sidelines of the great Indian Epic, Mahabharat. Each poem is a monologue by a by a character, and I have tried to tell the entire story through these monologues.

The story as such is from Mahabharat. But, the poetry (if at all you find any in my write) , is mine.

I have taken some liberties here and there, and deviated from the original script. Hope great Vyaasa forgives me.

I invite you read the poems. (Report) Reply

Beautiful, poignant expressions of feeling at the death of a dear friend.

Thank you so much Pamela for your reading and commenting. This was a write about a friend by the name Renee Nicole (Rainspirit) who died at a very young age from breast cancer, She was always there for all of us and brave to her last breath. (Report) Reply

Beautiful poem about rain and the absence of someone you are about on a day full of beauty that should be perfect but for their absence. Beautiful poetic imagery expressed. (Report) Reply

Susan, your kind words have made my day. Try to check my writes daily and thank those who have commented. Although, i have fallen short on that way too many times. Am grateful that i got my message across to you. Knew i needed to explain why i wrote this and finally was able to. Again, i thank you from the bottom of my heart...am now going over to your work and read some of your brilliance. (Report) Reply

You accomplished your mission. You made your reader, who knew nothing of your friend, feel the sudden hole in an otherwise perfect day. Excellent build-up and we were tripping lightly through that day the sunrise ever warmed
With its gentle rays dancing across my skin
Giving me hints of a fluffy white cloud or two
Promising an entire new day
and then in a few more words we felt that almost unbearable sadness in our own hearts as we remember losing the ones we loved. Poignant and beautiful piece. (Report) Reply

This poem was written when we lost a very, very good friend. Her name was Renee Nicole- and she left this life way to early. It left an almost unbearable sadness in our hearts. (Report) Reply

(((After The Rain))) - Poem by Theodora (Theo) Onken


I missed you the other day
When the dew left its diamond glitter upon the grass....too very poignant wrought in plaintive stance yet by the flares of nature, yet with beautiful style and diction flowing through imagery. (Report) Reply

The intense light of someone's absence can blind rhe heart to see little eles. i sometimes think you gave a window seat into my very soul. Your words, a cintinuance of comfort. PEACE. (Report) Reply
