Pink birthday candles glow.
She would have been twelve today.
For ten words...leaves nothing but our imagination. Sad in a way.

This is so sad. There is so much to be said beyond those ten words, but with them you have set up a premise that is heart wrenching. Best of luck in the contest.

It's amazing to read a story that tells all in just ten words. However, I feel that word pink could be replaced by something more effective and expansive in meaning.

How sweet and tender this is. Pink candle for Annie, She would have been 12 today. It is sad as tho the loss of someone, but I do know the feeling. Blessings and good luck in the contest.

A heartbreaking story in just ten words. You've chosen your words well and presented a heartfelt image without aid of artwork. Well done.

I tried to it right with ten words, thank you
Comment from pensee
Wow. These ten words provide an image and a story. With so few words we know that a girl was supposed to have a birthday--something tragic happened. And someone is remembering; mourning. It made my heart sink. Nice writing. Sad story.

Thank you for this exceptional It means a great deal to me. I'm so glad you "got" the message of this little story. It is about grief and mourning. The loss of a child is the worst.
Comment from barkingdog
This is sad especially for all of us who have lost a child. Personally, I'd never post something that brings back such painful memories to others.
My 'she' would have been twenty-nine on her last birthday and being reminded of it once a year is hard enough.
This isn't a story, merely a statement.

Sorry, to have brought back bad memories. But we all have them, so I'm not apologizing for this. The contest requires ten words, and I've lost people as well as you have.
Comment from Chap Man
Your poem certainly touched me today. In our town a girl that age stepped out and was killed by a truck. She will never be twelve, too. Your little work is put together nicely, conveying the thought much more civilly. Good choice of words and meets the demands or it. Thanks Chap Man
