The Process of Mourning

You grieve
Like soft whispers,
Trying to yell

Be heard
From far ears
Of loved ones

Each word
Dark, frigid,
Lonely and, still.

Almost as if you were directed by our Steve, though he would have led you through the whole process of mourning..
A great write, and could have been a "Sunku" but it is yours and your style..
Well done there,
Yours, Ian..

Quite memorable and well done. I am not really a fan of "eastern" poetry, usually to distant and too limiting, but this one is stellar. Great title, and great words. I'm going to put it in my scrapbook of favorites, so your poem is now in the company of the greats.

I am a follower of the punctuation school. I think you should finish the punctuation and not put a comma in the last line.

Congratulations on presenting a wonderful work.

Nice to know I'm your newest addition. Understanding your opinion on punctuation, however the commas serve a purpose dedicated to the mood of this poem.

I’m like the Sanford & son (Redd Fox of rap I got big dreams eating delicious ice cream watching yo bitches scream out living the dream. Ain’t nothing but a thing. I got this rap game locked this fat homeboy do think a lot. Boggy down to my sweat socks like the fame flamed Fetty Wap drop it while its hot. D Cyphr is making quick like fire raps a gun fire hire don’t call him a liar. As close as my new found friend peeps none other then Eminem working on his tan. Rex in effect in his super Nova body kit with phat rims wearing Depends…(Word) ! Locked Ferocious see ya on the flip side squeeze drop ya to yo knees as busy as a bee making sweet history !

...but a couple of tweaks would, for me, make it much the more likeable...

You grieve
WITH soft whispers,
Trying to SCREAM

Be heard
From far ears
Of lov'ed ones OR 'BELOVED'

Each word
Dark, frigid,
Lonely and still.

Best wishes... .val.
