This is exceptional. It pulls at the heart. I wish I had a six. It deserves one. Your poetry is moving. Good luck in the contest. You will win. With writing like this you don't need luck.

This poem speaks to so many emotions. The emotions of not being able to let go and holding on to grief. It can be hard when you are trying to hold on to anything you can so you dont forget someone. You will never forget because no one can take away your memories. Exceptional poem! Thank you for sharing!

Interestingly enough, there was a closet behind the door, everything repairable, used and replaceable were dumped there and his lovable things are there and no one visits the closet for all think his spirit lives there; well said, well done. Keep Writing -- DR ALCREATOR

Comment from Kelly Hanna
A very touching tribute poem. You really gave us a piece of your loved one with the description of who he was while he was with us still. I am terribly sorry for the lose of who sounded like a great person. You've done well in remembering him and helping us to feel the loss that you have suffered. This is a touching piece for the contest. It was a creative approach with a good amount of emotion for the reader. Good luck in the contest and may Matthew Glenn Shaw Rest in Peace.

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
That was beautifully written, and so very sad. He was much too young to be called home. I am so sorry for your loss, and can clearly understand why those boxes of bittersweet memories are still in that closet behind that door. This is an excellent contest entry and wish you the best of luck. :)) Sandra xx

Comment from Y. M. Roger
Such a poignant and deeply meaningful write that you have composed! :) :) Your rhythm is just spot on and the flow brings the reader through all that you have physically left of Matthew and sprinkles with it those pieces of your heart that reside behind that door as well -- thank you for sharing this piece of your very soul and good luck in the contest! :)

Comment from Mitchell Brontė
What an emotional poem, the memories of a lost one hidden behind the door. The sight, sound, smell intertwine through the lines. Very well written and thoroughly enjoyable.
One slight spag....first stanza, last line should say ....too soon.
Best wishes
