"Tomorrow May Be Too Late" is an acrostic poem which gives a sequence of advice encouraging whoever reads the poem to not allow feeling to shut them up in themselves. It is only by exposing ourselves and connecting that the richest connections are made. The tone of the piece is of genuine friendship and goodwill, and it is directed at the part of a human where the deepest longings for love and connection are found. This poem is excellent not for its language, or sound. It is the wisdom present in these words that wins it a rating or excellent. ( I also played the song; as someone who has lost both his father and his mother, I was moved by the passion and the lyrics.

    Ciao !

    I appreciate that you took time to read my wee poem and for the kind word.


    I can?t undo or set right my mistake but I can offer what I have learnt to others.

    I?m sorry for you losses ( sigh) The song IS terribly heart wrenching.

    PS I sent you a private mail two days ago .. it?s 23.00 here time to sleep.

    Keep safe ( 4 leaf clover)

    Night !

    You're seven or eight solar house east of New York, I think. would it come on the message page? I think I read it - very open and generous tone. I'll remind myself to look again. My memory has been unreliable. Movie time with salad and meat loaf. Some Tolkien stuff!

    At the moment it?s 7 hours .. it?s 7.22 in the morning here .

    I love meatloaf and I go crazy for salad especially the bitter ones like la cicoria e la rucola.

    For condiment : vinegar, olive oil and a pinch of salt.

    Last Christmas I watch the Hobbit Trilogy for the first time. Thrandhuil' is my favourite character. I read several fan fic mainly on Glorfindel and Erestor.

    I actually wrote a wee poem about Glorfindel yesterday using the 6 words provided but I didn?t enter the contest.

    I?ll just post it out of competition.

    No you have not read the private post I sent you yet . I posted there because the page is wider making the text easier to read.

    Buonanotte notte !

    Ciao !

Congratulations on third place. This was a very emotional poem and your author's notes PLUS this haunting, painful, melancholy song will stay with me long into this night, and well into my dreams of my own dad ~ long gone now. I wish I'd known better, as well...

    Ciao , I woke up and just logged in and saw I made the podium.

    I actually found this haunting song on the day of my father s anniversary and it definitely struck a chord.

    I cried and have played it dozens of time since.

    Sorry to read that you also have similar regrets. ( sigh)

    8 months after my father s passing I started to think in rhyme and I wrote my first poem ..

    Words have never been my thing but it helped me much with my loss and sense of guilt.

    Thank you for the congratulations ( smiles)

    Best wishes for a peaceful weekend
    and keep safe!

    Ciao!

    Thank you for the encouraging words ( big smile)

    Monsters is a new favourite for mine too .. I think my neighbours by now wear earplugs( biggrin)

    I live in the historical part so some main lateral/side walls are shared.

    At midday it?s still warmish so I have my window open. ( wink)

I have to say six for each part, as each one was so instrumental in making this a very emotional experience for me. My little brother was only in his forties, but he had made some bad choices, so I finally had to shut the door on our wonderful relationship we had had for so many years, as everyone told me it was tough love. Well the love got really tough when I never had another chance to tell him how much I loved him. He was killed in a car crash the next week. I lived with such guilt that at times I could barely stand the pain. I finally had to seek help and learn to forgive myself. Yet times like this brings the pain back & I am with you and.would like to shout this message from the rooftops!!! Thanks for bringing awareness to this! Great job my friend!

    I?m sorry for your loss , glad you found the help you needed to over come the sense of guilt. ( especially because you are without fault).

    Of course, there will always be those certain recurring days that still cause us pain.


    In my note ?s section I mentioned a grudge
    Here are two wee poems that explain in part my grudge , no need to review.

    8 months after the passing of my father, I started to think in rhyme and I wrote my first wee poem after a walk in my forest.

    I never in my wildest days saw my self writing poems. Words were never my thing, and yet poetry helped me feel better and I have continued to dabble since.

    Thanks for the extra shining star but above all Im glad my words touched you.

    Keep safe!

    Ciao!

I like your sentence acrostic poem. It's sad and haunting and a reminder to live a life with no regrets though I'm not sure that's totally possible. The line that hit me hardest was, 'Don't let the anger linger, or fester, we all make mistakes.'
Thanks for sharing, and good luck in the contest.
