GONE

Meet the Bar   We're challenged this week to write chant poetry.  "A chant actually doesn't even need words, it can be nonsense words or sounds.  You only need the energy and drive of repetition".  My somber poem is submitted to dVerse July 15, 2021.
************


GONE 

Friend so wise and loyal
Gone now, gone

Friend filled with wit and laughter
Gone now, gone

Friend who loved card playing
Gone now, gone

Friend and travel companion
Gone now, gone

Friend and talented artist
Gone now, gone

Pearls in the necklace of my life
Gone now, gone

My heavy heart acknowledges
They're gone now, gone.

  3. Beverly, when I read this I think of my mom, who has been a gregarious person all of her life. One by one she's seen so many "gone now, gone." I'm sorry you and she have lost so many cherished friends. {{{HUGS}}}
