Victor Buhagiar Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

My Wife's Burial

I bade her last sad goodbye
             Even the drooping yellow sunflowers hang their heads,
Could I imagine her lovely soul, so sweet, upwards fly?
How I wished I had a perfumed bunch of reds!

                        Would scatter them on her tomb.
She deserved better, for she was kind, deserved no gloom.
Yet from afar some bagpiper played his dirge of doom.

      A soft north breeze blew to ease the terrible pain,
            Though there was no hint of impending rain.
                        Only listless leaves littered all again.

Emotion got better of me as I wiped my eye,
            The blazing sun came out to wither, and flower sheds.
      My love, your death cannot assume?	
                        Truly, my peace of mind does but complain.

Sotto Poet July 15, 2021 at 7:36 AM This is a lovely tribute to your late wife, conveying emotions of passionate and genuine affection. Reminding you of your beloved's death leads you to experience sorrow all over again. I understand that writing emotional poetry about the loss of a loved one is not easy. Rather than that, it isn't easy to recreate her in such a beautiful lady as she. When it comes to your creativity, there are no constraints. Victor, good luck with the contest.

Vijay Pandit July 15, 2021 at 6:13 AM Kudos, Victor, for creating a wonderfully emotive poem--traversing through the complexity of contest rules. Some rules hinder creativity--but, not for you. No doubt a BIG win.

Supraja Kannan July 15, 2021 at 5:41 AM Too great! A deep, emotional and lovely tribute to your beautiful wife ...

Sara Kendrick July 15, 2021 at 2:47 AM Reads like a good contender for the contest. This work is emotive and expressive. It makes me want to say again I feel for you in your loss of your love. I know it was not and still is not easy. Thanks for your visit to my page. Sara

Anitha Jayasankar July 15, 2021 at 2:39 AM What a wonderful dedication to your dear wife Victor... She must have been a beautiful soul and so lovely... well penned with rhymes and alliteration too... Best wishes in the contest... God bless... ~ Ani
