A Moment of Silence

Splendid. This was truely poetry; the perfect words in the perfect order.

I really like your choice of words, that's always the first thing I notice in a poem, and you use beautiful words constructing meaningful stanzas along each poem you write like you did in this one :)

This was not only sad but the heartfelt emotions filled the reader. Your words so vivid one wished to bring comfort to this sad child

I really like the atmosphere you create with your words, the sadness is literally hanging in midair and not only the protagonist, but also the reader is experiencing it. The protagonist while undergoing this and the reader because of reading this poem and feeling tied to their place, unable to help, wondering how this continues, hoping for the so called "Happy end", yet it doesn't come.
I actually liked the flowerbed of life a lot because it's usually an image for positive things, may it be heaven or even love in general, while here it is not, it rather shows how lifeless the protagonist is, lifeless and empty because he is missing yet it's unknown what fertilizer might help, if there is any at all.
I thought that the ending was heartbreaking.

"A Moment of Silence"
^ Not only the context of your poem fits to this title, but also the reaction of the reader, the effect your poem has on the reader, at least it had that effect on me, it left me speechless.

Well done.

Wow amazing 5/5 and nomination :)
