Your bride gift mirror, placed with care
On the covers, close to where
Your pillowed head
Was once in bed
And I imagine you’re still there.
Take a peep into the Magpie's Nest for more stories and poems.

ReplyDeletejust heartbreakingly beautiful
and so romantic...deeply felt my friend
Ah Ford
ReplyDeleteIt is so beautifully poignant
I can almost ignore the limerick in it
Poignant and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteMy Magpie
well now, that's just plain sad - beautifully composed but sad
ReplyDeleteStafford,
ReplyDeleteHow brilliantly poignant!
Awesome :)
ReplyDeleteHow odd that every one I have read so far (including myself) have been inspired by a mirror to write something sad.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what that means?
There is something of the Victorian poets about this. I really like it. I think it's the image of the pillowed head. Excellent.
ReplyDeleteBride gift mirror. I really like that. Nice Magpie.
ReplyDeleteoh my- the image of the pillowed head...and she's gone. Beautiful and so very sad.
ReplyDeleteSad memories.
ReplyDeleteI love the ending!
ReplyDeleteMine was a bride gift mirror as well!
ouch...sad sad stafford...but now when you look for the one you love you see yourself?
ReplyDeleteGreat answer to this prompt Stafford, sad and beautiful - memories reside in the simplest of objects....bkm
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful Stafford! :-)
ReplyDeleteyeah, he/she will be here ...
ReplyDeleteuplifting and witty words.
Haunting, poignant, touching,
ReplyDeletebeautiful, well put, and look
here world, Stafford can reach
into his pot of poetics and bestow
a group of lines without the humor
usually demonstrated. Humor is
essential in this wicked circumstance
we call our lives, but so is heartfelt
remembrances. Very nicely done.
