Place

And now, it's here- that day, austere, when from your lives, I leave with drear, these words I share with love- sincere, for you, my lifetime, to revere. Dear husband, try to persevere- our hearts stay joined by Cupid's spear. Hold close our memories, with cheer; embrace, with love, each yesteryear. My children, these last words appear with strength; my love for you, right here and from Beyond, remains, premiere; I, part of you- shan't disappear. Grandchildren five, how I endear your special love- from far or near. Through me, you came, another tier; remember me- your pioneer. Safeguard my paintings, for it's clear they are my talent's souvenir. What you can't keep, then volunteer to nursing homes for atmosphere. My poetry, please read, adhere how love for words did engineer some beauty, wisdom that may steer your thoughts to form a peaceful sphere. And, now I go- please have no fear; from up above Earth's stratosphere, where angels glide with wings so sheer- I'll love you from Beyond's Frontier.

Oh, thank you so much, Tom, for stopping by with your very uplifting comment on my poem. I thought it might do for your contest, but see now it did not fit in your theme very well. But, I appreciate your supportive words. ;)

I have to agree with Greg on this, I don't think I've seen a better mono rhyme ever. 28 rhymes and it doesn't feel forced at all! Congrats Sandra on a well deserved top win!

Sandra, the fact that you wrote this in monorhyme is beyond impressive! I agree with Greg...it stands alone as the top winner. Congratulations on your very deserving first place win! I honestly did not see this or would have commented! This masterpiece is going into my Faves! xxoo

I can't believe this only has three comments, Sandra, (perhaps a few more now) - this is absolutely exquisite, and just blew me away ... perfect rhythm and tempo, sublime imagery and phrasing, a wonderfully heartfelt story, and all in a 28-line MONORHYME! I honestly have never seen a better poem here of that form, and you should be so VERY proud of this masterpiece of poetic excellence. I am NOT overstating. Sincere congratulations for your sole 1st place! (Which I had not intended) :-) <3

Sandra Haight
Date: 8/21/2018 12:47:00 PM

Wow...what can I say, Greg, about my amazing placement and your so very supportive and uplifting comments about my Monorhyme poem. I feel honored and humbled both, and I thank you so much for your very inspiring contest theme which made me think of my deep, emotional love for family and how I would express my feelings in a poem to be left to them someday. Again, thank you so much, Greg! Sandra :) <3
