..gets the heartbreak. As for the little blue vase, throw it at him!

Rubber necking into someone elses crashed life.

I can hear my ex asking me the same damn questions.

Well done.

Did you think about using 'urn' instead of vase? It would make it more poignant.

Perfect ending.

I love the little blue vase.

I pictured it right away

empty, fragile

the rest of the poem was just a lead up to this verse.

cannot be as easily chosen and equally distributed . Very thought provoking.

Miss O,

This is very simple masterful writing, it is like an airplane taking off.

But tell me, please:

Who gets the heartbreak?

Who takes the blame?

Who gets the guilt?

Who takes the anger?

And which one of us

will keep the little blue vase

that sits by the side of the bed?

Last three lines, really make, take this to another level. Vase is the perfect word, maybe because I'm thinking in spanish.

I would give some consideration to changing the word order of blame and heartbreak.

What a great poem.

I loved the flow and the simplistic wording.

Short and to the point.

Another One to keep and re-read.

More Please~~!!!!

feelings , and we all have the list of things.

I love the mystery of the blue vase.

Very nice work Mistress O.

Such a small expression of such a big emotion. Well done, O.
