Last Word

Hanging by the noose

cryptic farewells penned

that last breath of words

never wraps up loose ends

Very powerful, I liked how much emotion was contained within such brevity. Must be the pain inside someone committing suicide is so great that they feel rushed to the act, and such complex emotions would probably be very hard for them to pen in many cases....but for sure, a note left behind is never an equation to describe the properties of the soul (i mean soul in the secular sense)

Thanks for your kind review James...that note only proved to make it harder to accept, it continues to stab.

This was short but so powerful! You have an amazing way with words that just give a certain effect off to your readers. Its truly amazing.

[Frieda P]

[LA Lorena]

a stinger! LOVE this Frieda. Concise, blunt, and effective.

[Frieda P]

Thanks so much LA, it was stinger for me, but it needed to be said.

A very striking piece. So short yet so strong... like arrows through the heart. It takes a certain charm and style to pull of very short poems like this and I have to say you did it very nicely. Good job. ^_^

[Frieda P]

Thanks so much, such kind words...

Preach it sister!
There is always so much left to say, before we fade away.
I like these short reflective writes of yours. Profound and have impact on the readers day for sure.

[Frieda P]

Thanks Kee, always happy to see you, I really hope this one leaves a lasting impression.

You're most welcome :) Frieda whenever you get some free time on your hands, I've uploaded a rough draft of my first story ever written, i'd love to hear your opinion on it.

[Frieda P]

Yell louder next time. ;-)

[Rosa Carlyle-Mitchell]

Wow. Simple and so bluntly true. Death lacks the finality or certainty that we expect.

[Frieda P]

Hope that's a good wow, so true, but I think people in that state of mind are thinking it's the answer, just leaves behind a million questions.

I concur with Robin

[Frieda P]

A man of many words, thanks! ;)

[Robin]

yeh ...

[Frieda P]

Thanks Robin.

This makes me visualize a gruesome scene of the man hung and wetting himself. The misery leaking out to evaporate and rain back to become an ever-present solute in the endless depths of the ocean.
Nothing ever seems to actually get "tied-up".
A fine poem!

[Frieda P]

Meh, truth be told, it was much worse than that, thank you kind sir for your attention.
