Michael,
What can I say to this piece? The lay out is brilliant, the flow and the description is faultless and the topic moving. Nominated.

Beautiful piece, Michael. You took this information and made it into this work of art, so neatly laid out on the page.

Very well done!

(((hugs)))

In all honesty....this is such a beautiful and creative write, i mean seriously Mr.D the way this has been executed is just mind blowing, your format and word choice and the way you controll the reader is flawless.

Simply wonderful.

Congrats, dear Michael. I am glad I nominated this, because it now has won!

The careful explosion of activity in the opening stanza is masterfully contrasted with the Lady's mesmerizing slow movements. Setting it in a Harrods Sale is a perfect choice to predispose the reader to the madness you portray - customers lined up the night before, tempers frayed, competition over goods.
The head of a pin: nice way to gather the emotions of a lifetime into an incalculably dense instant.
The train in the chest threw me at first, but after reading the rest of the stanza it came clear as a driving force (in this case of grief) which tore her from the reverie.
Even without the explanation this poem is poignant and clear in its meaning.
Well deserved win, Michael.

This is true art.

Really remarkable work.

Michael such a beautiful piece of poetry. I hope when the time comes I will see my mom before the demesia takes all her memories away.
Excellent job!
Take care
Cindy
