All Comments on 'Missing'

I have heard the expression "terrible beauty," and it came to mind when I read this poem. Its raw honesty is very beautiful, and the pace builds in a frantic way that counterbalences the loss that permeates it. It's really good.

very much. Powerful emotion, and excellent pace. Great reading.

And powerful. Tragic imagery makes this piece an excellent write.

This was very deep, powerfully written it was expertly delivered.

This poem is has a fluidity and shape that fits the pain of its expression, i.e., it does what a good poem should do. Such simplicity of words throughout make it more expressive. The opening four words take one immediately into "poetry" - deftly, simply. The third and fourth stanzas are a real history that belie the suffering. The last line a missile to the heart. Splendid work, Gauche.
