What Makes You Feel

Dear Valsa! So heartfelt. I can feel the weight of those emotions in your brief yet impactful expression. The ideas of drifting and drowning in dullness truly captures the struggles of feeling lost and despondent. Your ability to convey such depth in just a few words is truly powerful. Spring Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

i feel sorry for you, and your friends too, this is a precious poem for me too, friends are the best persons when needing help or recomfort merci poétesse

When they go away, Valsa, you will undoubtedly experience a hole in your daily routine. I hope you're doing great, and best of luck in the contest!

Loss of a friend is always poignant.

lost friendships can hurt/ good poem

Friendships, love connections when they fall apart, are very difficult to deal with. One feels betrayed...but, there can be a host of other personal reasons, that we are not privy to. People are complex as you know. Interesting read.

Valsa, I can so relate to your Monoku! Excellent! Happy Saturday xxoo

OK, this confirms it, I completely misunderstood the contest directions (I have TBI (brain injury) and often fail to fully comprehend requirements. I didn't realize it had to be specifically about friends. I did think pickles and blue cheese had to mention both, but the winning one mentioned neither. And w/o u I would have goofed the kid contest. Confused, I live. BUT your monoku is a beautiful delivery of feel and I didn't misunderstand that! CayCay

Such sadness that must be.

very touching monoku; thanks poet, really deep and brilliant

Great sentiment.

Nice alliterative write Valsa Hope you win. Hugs Maria

Dear sweet valsa! This is so touching and i love the way youv used alliterations and your choice of words for this monoku is impressive!

- Really sad, Valsa - Best wishes in the contest - hugs

They certainly leave a void in your life when they leave Valsa. Good luck in the contest and I hope your week is going well. Tom
