Notes About The Poem

Guardian Angel

- When the Angel of Death Comes -

You brought armfuls of dream
Want to parse the stream
They say you are made of cream
Bright and leading my tongue scream

What else was so sweet
This is your cross street
Always stand on its own feet
No matter how much the clock beat

Uncultured and out of control cars
Foolish drive from hours at the bars
Received license from the planet Mars
No wonder purple stars

Without you in my life my friend
Visiting hours are over ~ the end

A unique take, I must say, Anne-Lise! I can feel the contrast between the initial light lines and the sad ending. That cross is excellent! Congratulations on your fine win. Hugs // paul

The message about bad driving comes through clearly, Sunshine. There are often times I wonder how (and where) some people got their licenses. Maybe these licenses did come from Mars! With many outstanding entries, judging was difficult (again). Congratulations on your win! And thank you for supporting the contest. Best wishes, Carolyn

Hello Dear Anne-Lise, A very powerful and sad sonnet with its words of earthly disregard culminating in a tragic auto accident (if I've interpreted this correctly). Regardless, what a tragic and terrible way to go. A poignant and moving write. A Giant "SEVEN" too!! Cheers and Best, Gary

Interesting take on departure. Sounds like there was a car accident. If that is the case, it's a sad way to travel away.
