Dear John,
You are the Dead.
I am the Living, though my heart denies it.
You left me
…………(bravely)
alone in a field of poppies.
I leave you
these words from failing hands
that mark our place,
between the musty pages
of our favorite book.
They’re yours to keep.
I shall not sleep.
Forever,
Elizabeth

I love the portions that you brought of the original…especially the poppies…well done, De!
Wow.. very nicely done.
Packed with emotions in its’ brevity.
Nicely done. Time for tissues!
I like what you did and how you responded to the poem. Very creative. “I am the living” – though it’s not really living if you can’t sleep!
And the title is great, as well.
Oh, very neatly done.
So very nice, thank you!
