Grieving; I weep silently As daylilies die daily A slow death but violently Their leaves a yellow shaley Feelings that are despairing Heart pain, actual sorrow Tears because you're uncaring Grieving cause you killed yarrow Actual form: Ae Freislighe (aye freshly) and Irish form

As one who keeps a garden, I can sense your pain. When the plants we bring up with care die, I too feel the same pain. Have a great Sunday dear Sara.

Valsa, it hurts when they are expensive plants that we have bought. We have money, time and effort involved. Most of the plants I had were ones that someone gave me a plant as a starter, and I would plant it then when it started to send out babies gradually, I would move a few here and a few there until I had alike plants scattered all over. My husband has just about killed or dug up everything that I had growing. Thanks for the visit. Sara K

Aurore, some people do have more experience than others with the emotion of grief which can run a gambit of a large number of emotions. Thank you for dropping by. Sara K

your poem deeply touched me, Sara K. I felt your sorrow in watching your beautiful plants meet their demise. How sad for you. I'd want to cry too. Enjoy your evening, Sara

Very honest and revealing write. Heartache from betrayal, loss, is as great or greater than any physical pain -- can even effect physical health. Wishing you peace and happiness. Blessings my friend!

Joe, Betrayal is a very difficult situation for most people. The person doing the betraying doesn't usually have a clue because such feelings don't touch them. Thanks for the visit and understanding. Sara K

I hope you try a few, Jan. A different kind to write which can be short or longer if you so want to do a longer version. Sara K

Dear sara, what a profound and poignant writ this is, sometimes i look at my plants in the balcony too and feel sad seeing them wither away, although it is sunny, too much sun too isnt good for them. Youve used here daylilies and how they wilt and slowly die as a soulful metaphor to depict grief and so much more. In such eloquence. Felt the emotions flowing throughout this so very strongly. Sending you light always: hope you are doing well too

IE, I have felt much better, but I was a lot younger. So good for my age and health. I need all the Light I can get. Sara K

Gosh, this is such a poignant and heart-aching poem which conveys volumes of emotional depth, dear Sara. The metaphor of daylilies used for a wilting soul is absolutely artistic and I could feel the painstaking angst in your words. When care is not reciprocated and instead, is spirit-shattering.. Beautifully crafted as always and speaks immensely within few words! (I just came back on ps today, hope you've been doing okay) sending love & light ~

I had noticed that I had not seen your comments or works around. I hope you are okay. I am okay for my age and health. Sara K

Dear Sara, your poem speaks volumes of loss's profound ache and anguish. I loved the imagery of daylilies wilting daily echoes of the slow, relentless erosion of hope and joy. Your words convey the rawness of despair and the crushing weight of uncaring actions. It's a stark portrayal of heartbreak and the longing for empathy amidst shattered trust. Sara, this is filled with emotions through your evocative verses. - Blessings, Daniel

Daniel, I am glad that you could read into my poem so deeply. Shattered trust is so hard to deal with in a relationship. Thank you for the blessings. Sara K

I see what you mean looking at your photo. Good news is that they will reemerge vibrantly as weather improves. Lovely emotive poem, Sara.

Well, Vijay, if the weed killer did not kill the bulbs or root they will come back, but alas, it will take several years for them to recoup from the weed killer. Thanks for the visit and kind review of my work. Sara K

Hey Sara, are ye an Irish lass? What a cool form you wrote in. I'll bet most of us never heard of it. Aye. Your poem reflects disappointment and sorrow

Tom, my DNA says I am part Irish. I was adopted and really have not been told about my history, but some families have not carried on an oral tradition about where they came from so they don't know either. I don't think my adoptive parents knew exactly from where they came before this country. Thanks for the kind review of my work. Sara K
