All I Think of Is You

in my waking hours I see your face in the clouds I hear your voice on the wind at night, you're my dreams your scent still on my pillow when will this heart of mine mend? By Rhonda Johnson-Saunders, February 21, 2012 for Sedoka contest (Russell Sivey) first place

Forgive me, Rhonda. Your beautiful poem reminds me so much of my late husband that it brought tears to my eyes. I still feel his presence after all these years. Surely a winner in Russell's wonderful contest. Love, Carolyn

Rhonda, good luck in the contest. I started 2 feel a bit of guilt as I read your poem. I know this poem was intended for your love one. Half of all your lines, remind me of both my mothers step & biological. I have paid no visit to either one. (SHAME ON ME), Every waking hour, I feel the void. Sad I have to miss my special someones that way. I face the clouds and hope my mum, is looking at me. I also long 2 hear her voice in the wind. My other mother is lost to alzheimer. thinking always~pd

Rhonda, this is a lovely worded poem. However, a sedoka poem consists of only six lines, and you display seven here.

Wow, I know a sedoka is six lines. I guess I got carried away. Thanks Robert for pointing out my extra line. I'll rethink the poem.
