Qow how terrible to find a friend like that. Im truely sorry for your loss brenda.. such a tribute to her.

Hello Brenda,

Although bitterly sad, I enjoy reading these short stories. Your build up to the crash is well told. Background to any piece of writing is important, it allows the reader context before the climax. Sometimes the climax is the place to end, but not here. You continue to reveal more inner dialogue, a question: would they have found acceptance from those closest? I feel that those same people will always live with regret.

Well done Brenda, an enjoyable read from you. I have noticed a typo though: after the part "in the ditch" 'they' should be 'there', well I think so anyway. :)

Take care,

This truly got to me....

My best friend Angie in highschool died at seventeen, on her way to school, she was hit by a train...

Brenda, I've written about her several times but I have to say, this poem for Heather just really touched me... I think it's because you truly stir the emotions within your lines and lay it out for the reader!

Thank you for sharing...hugs you

Brenda. This is truly sad, touching and emotional. One of my best friends was murdered a few years ago because he was mentally ill and the people who killed him didn't like that fact and each year on his anniversary it seems to get more and more difficult.

All the best, Em

Oh Brenda this was such a sad poem. It ripped me apart, reminded me of so many lost young lives. A tremendously visual and emotional peace very well written. Milly xx
