this short write spoke volumes to me...how the smallest things can conjure the strongest memories...how that while we're busy remembering, life just keeps moving on...needless to say, enjoyed... |

I enjoy the link you create between acorns and your father, the fall of acorns symbolize the ineluctable ending and shortness of life....This is really good. yann |

I'd already scheduled a cemetery visit for the weekend... your words punch right in the gut/heart/center of missing. |

Beautiful poem, John. Whilst, I am sad for you, simultaneously, I envy you. I wish I missed my parents. I understand the title very well. - Owl |
