My Guardian Angel (Limerick) by ramtheman1
For my mother, Brenda Lee Lindgren I know not the way I feel, That's why it's so hard to deal. For in my heart it's so extremely real. Someday I'll try to realize That my heart isn't actually paralyzed, For the blood still flows, And there haven't been any blows. It's a real puzzle, For my aching head needs a muzzle. I know my mom's in the heavens above, Watching over us all with lots of love. She's a wonderful dove in the skies above, Sharing her love as best as she knows how-- Through each and every person That she's touched so tenderly, For now her spirit is free, don't you see? We can tell she's back, 'Cause she's keeping us on the right track, So there's no need to look back. Katherine Lee Jensen Copyright ©2003 Kathy Jensen

It is a well know literary phenomenon that infinitely many people have rhymed "love" with "above", but I've never seen anyone attempt to do it twice in one poeme. This really is such an emotional piece, with an emotion nestling not only on each line, but between each line as well. I'm not an expert on poetry, but when a piece like this is so full of joy, love, pain, emotions, tenderness, hope, fear and wonder, I cannot help but give you a -10-. Thanks.

You have a very distinctive and individual style, which I like. I think you may enjoy some of my work (although it is sometimes misunderstood).

What's the point in praying for someone after they're dead? The whole point of Hell is that once you're there, you're there forever. The idea that you could somehow convince God to let them out just by praying is incredibly childish and ignorant.

I lost my best friend ever - my wife. I often want to look back, but know - that to exist, I must not turn my gaze. The voice is in front, looking back at me.
Good job.
