He sat and thought
about how the world
stopped spinning
after she went away
she left one day
without a kiss
without saying goodbye
just disappeared
leaving his life barren
AP: Honorable Mention 2026
The sunset kissed the world.
A colourful goodbye, it left saying 'Goodnight'.
We glided through its stillness.

Once upon a time long gone …
The reigning queen let out a yawn,
And stood up from her regal throne
To trample down the hall alone
She ripped the crown from out her hair
And flung it out the window there,
It tumbled down the castle wall …
No knight or king did hear it fall
And off the ground it did bounce
The crown rolled out into a flounce,
Tumbling down into the moat
And thankfully it did not float
A queen no more and yet she smiled
Chuckling, whooping and skipping wild,
Saying goodbye to the castle rafter …
She'd found her happily ever after.
I lost my beautiful dog today
I lost my dearest friend
She took with her
a piece of my heart
I’ll never feel again
I know you’ll say
there will come a day
when your heart is filled with another
but you didn’t know
my Chuli girl
A dog unlike any other
I’ve never cried
or felt inside
the way I felt with her
saying goodbye
as I watched her die
and nuzzled my face in her fur
Now I’m back home
I feel so alone
The silence is filled with tears
I miss her so
You’ll never know
She was part of my very best years
When my travels are over
And I finished my last mile
Don't remember my frown
Just remember my smile
Forget harsh words I uttered
Remember the good I've done
Forget any heartache I caused
Just remember all our fun
Forget all my short comings
When I fell by the wayside
Not every battle can be won
But remember I truly tried
Forget to grieve my passing
I don't want you to be sad
Instead remember all our fun
And the good times we had
When the sun finally sets
On that of our last day
I only want you to remember
These last words that I say
There is no amount of tears
That you could ever cry
That will ever ease the pain
Of saying our final goodbye
At a loss. know not what to do
Not ready to say goodbye to you
Talked online for over a year
Became good friends, I love so dear
Sometimes we talked all through the night
We brought our inner souls to light
We shared secrets only each had known
Our love as friend has really grown
Our friendship has grown and I know it's real
Though sometimes I feel that its no big deal
Given time this friendship could grow
you know the saying "Time will Show"
Saying goodbye to someone you've known for a long time can be the hardest thing to do
Quote By Poet: "Tears are rain from the eyes."
When the phone rings,
it is 1:30 AM.
A doctor saying,
your dad is gone.
How did I manage to say,
thanks for your call?
Tears filled my eyes and face,
my dad is gone but how could that be?
My hero of a man,
who left his home~family~to fight a war.
A dad who took the time,
to help with homework.
His wisdom was everlasting,
"a winner never quits and a quitter never wins."
My memories drift off,
to a great man and dad.
One who loved his,
family and country.
Where the beach would find him,
fishing the blue sea.
He was called friend,
because he was a friend to all.
An Assault On All That Is Sacred And Beautiful
Standing by the canyon rim
The couple embrace
“How beautiful, still”
Are their last words
*
Two old men
With tears in their eyes
Look out over the canyon
Kicking the dirt hard
*
A boy holds tight
His father's hand
As they watch
The flight of an eagle
*
A girl with
Arm around
Her mother's waist
Reads the posted sign
*
The Department of Interior is no more
We apologize on behalf
Of all that was once
Sacred and Beautiful in our World
*
COMMON was it growing up from grounded poverty
Ominous was the task; that it approached with glee
Monumental; the first rung on an iron ladder would be
Making its way; climbing would not always be; sunny
Over time, this world; this way; driven to near insanity
Now, though, looking back; It has earned a legacy
It spread from post to post; life was not a gimme
Vigorously working at that point; if it died right there, no one would miss me
Years it would take; growing up life's trellis before saying goodbye to this IVY
A love too early,
a tear nearby.
I loved you truly,
we said goodbye.
A love too early,
it still remains.
I loved you only,
too early it died.
A love too early,
and memory fades,
Time and new faces
close by my side.
A love too early,
but late as it is,
I question and ponder:
is early too late?
Each day at twilight, it seems to be so quiet
Maybe the sun wants to leave some silence behind
A peaceful time to cherish at the end of the day
The air is also still as if the descending sun slows time
To clear the mind, no rushing , no chaos
Often no wind at all to stir things around the land
At twilight take a look, you may find more than changes in the sky
Or the color at the horizon reflecting in the clouds
You may just find this quiet stillness, not much moving
Just the sun saying goodbye, leaving for today
With an impression making silence seem loud

Since the day you left
I’ve been saying goodbye
with a heart full of hope
someday I’d know why
but now it seems I have to let you go
All my strength
is all but gone
from the ledge
you left me hanging on
with fear of falling all I’ve left to know
For all the things
you were to me
that dreaded day
did come to be
your hidden courage just couldn’t be found
The silence let’s
your courage hide
from the painful price
of your foolish pride
and all the things you say without a sound
The doctor says
it’s me or you
believe me when
I say it’s true
It’s now become a choice of life and living
Now holding on
means letting go
but one thing you
must always know
the life and love you took was worth the giving
~Jeannie Cronin
Tears over death
Not because you’ve left
Without saying goodbye
Oh! I cannot tell a lie.
You departed like a storm
This is not the norm
How strange are some people
I have no idea that so many are purple.
Oh! Lord, I have no words
The shocks are real
The pain is surreal
Even for the birds.
Some have no love
They put themselves above
Everything on earth
Except, of course, death.
We should learn something new
Every single day. We should have a clue
Of what’s happening
In summer and in spring.
Tears not for you
Tears over death
So sad, you’ve left
Everything is now anew.

Hello.
You may not know who I am.
You may not even care.
I don’t blame you - another mind to understand.
I don’t know who I am and I am there.
A million faces we see in this life, some we find attractive. A million faces that hide souls carrying their truths and lies, souls that we can’t comprehend.
You may not know how I go and that’s just fine.
The irony of living a life in the same time and never saying hello is no crime.
All the cars you pass on motorways carrying lives. Lives that you’ll never know, nor will I and that’s just life.
You don’t know who I am and I don’t know you.
It’s strange that with my words you may picture a face finding a way, just for a few seconds of your life to be with you.
I hope you liked what I had to say.
Goodbye from this fool.
