I used to once upon a time, Anonymous Poet.
But no more.
There are those who cry "happy tears" and those who cry tears of sadness.
Then, there are those individuals like myself who rarely cry at all.

So sorry about your friend's husband.
Good luck in the contest.

    Thank you Dean, for reading and reviewing this short poem on Tears. There are many reasons for happy tears and for sad tears. But I suspect there are also many reasons for no tears. But that's when gin does come in handy. Appreciate your dropping by.

Poignant! Sending healing thoughts to your friends in hospice. I am certain this poem would touch thier hearts deeply. Great use of CAN in opening and closing. Excellent alliteration and consonance of W. Flows like a river is a nice and fitting simile, though slightly cliche. A world in teardrop is nice too. Reminds me of the famous 'world in a grain of sand and eternity in an hour' line.

Bravo and good luck,

Warmly, rd
