All Comments on 'Friday's Fish'

An excellent poem about grief and the way it lingers. I have so been there. From a technical point of view, very well written. Brevity is the heart of wit and you have said just enough to make you point and have not gotten into rambling. I applaud you.

nice job of expressing grief and dealing with it.

Your poem was mentioned in the New Poetry Recommendations in the Poetry Feedback & Discussion forum. Well done!

in this one, the last stanza has 'Still' and the second line 'yet'. i feel as if using both words is almost too much.

This is a very well done poem, but I agree with wildsweetone, the poem would be even better if you lose the 'still' and 'yet', like the following:

'you remain gone,

the cupboard is replenished

with your flavor

every hushed moment.'

Of course I could be full of crap.

Poignant and precise - I love the conciseness and the way you convey the sense of loss in such pedestrian things. M
