I’m a little late joining the party at NaPoWriMo
It’s already Day 10! Today we are writing ‘portrait’ poems
Dag (not Dad)
Blue eyes that sparkled
And a smile –
Always a smile
He whistled tunes
While working or
Reading or doing nothing
The house was happy
When he was home
Quite dull when he wasn’t
Now I stand looking at a stranger
Stretched out before me
Eyes closed, straight line mouth
No music

Very heartfelt poem. I am really sorry. When a piece leaves me emotional like this, I have no golden words to say and for that, I also apologize.

Excellent poem – I felt his presence and then I felt the loss.
