On The Dog

This morning. The rain.
poured mercilessly 
On the dog.

wet paw prints 
All through. The milk.
Had gone sour
the cereal stale.

the shower rained hailstones
the day felt all wrong. And.
on top of all that. You.
were gone.

You're.  Still.  Gone.

This day in the life is so fucking real and so sad .. As a stand alone poem, I am almost ashamed to emphasise the fact that I liked it so effin much xx

Being Me

Having read this I feel I want to be standing on your doorstep (albeit dripping wet) with a fresh couple of pints of milk, some boxes of cereal, a mop and bucket, a towel to dry up and a bunch of daffs. (Oh, and a cake too ... I nearly forgot the bloody cake).  This little poem really reaches the heart x

Great writing: very effectively conveys a sense of loss & a sad mood. And a great closing line/stanza.
