She passed away
on a sunny
summer Sunday,
not a single cloud
in the sky.
No time for
regrets, tears,
or laments;
only just enough
time to die.
After all these years
And all those tears
With all her scars
And baseless fears
She always thought
Or hoped I guess that
Death might give some
notice, some alarm
at the last.
Instead she smelled
honeysuckle on the
wind and for some
reason heard
the dull roar of
thunder on this
cloudless day.

Thank you. I honestly am not sure I write poetry as much as I just jot down thoughts.

I’m glad you like it. That particular poem came about after a texting teenaged driver almost ran over me during my morning walk.

Thanks so much. The darned thing came to me after I was almost hit by a texting teenaged driver while out on my morning walk. Inspiration comes in many forms.

I’m so glad you were not smashed and lived another day to pen this lovely melody in words. I totally get it. But I don’t see your error. Was there an error?
