An Absence Felt

Beautiful and powerful Audrey. Jamie

Exquisitely balanced and evocative. A masterpiece of minimalism.

Would you consider--

until only the nub

remains

OR

until,

only the nu

remains

????

Just a thought.

Forgive me but I have seen Shriek every night for 2 weeks I bet and he talks each night about Ogres have layers like onions so it sort of spoiled this for me (sort of like being brain washed I think lol) so I promise to come back when I haven't seen Shriek in a few nights to read it again. Still have my votes though! ^

Audrey.. you just know how to phrase.. and pen a poem.. love the errie and stillness behind the powerful words voted awesome

Relief, that's great!

Wow, Audrey, this is one deep, reflective piece here.

Up and more and sharing

Blessings,

Few words, but big meaning Audrey. Well done.

Iv'e read it three times and i'm still pondering, your words do that each time i read your poetry. This is deep, many layers to examine. Thank you Audrey. Enjoyed!

Beautiful Audrey; voted up and wishing you a great day.

Eddy.

What interesting imagery, Audrey! As always exploring said, it's the type of poem that provides new meaning each time it's read. Thanks for sharing it.

Different and interesting, Audrey. This little gem has many facets and layers to it.

Nice work Audrey. I like how eerie this is. Life is so temporary

Stunning work; brilliant and original, Audrey. I love your poetry. :-) Voted way up and shared.

Wow. So poignant, true and moving!

Beautiful and intense! Voted up and shared.

Nice peom.

Mountains we make of everything around us but what remains is an extract of all that or as you say '' only the nub remains''. Beautiful and profound ! Lovely poem, Audrey ; thanks rajan for sharing it with us.

Audrey, I am extremely sorry for my comment and this mistake occurred in haste. You can very well delete such unworthy and inappropriate comment and and also one of yours. It was not intentional at all. With all regards.

Most powerful indeed. Brought me the shivers at the end.

Great poem, deep and intense.

An absence felt..an awesome piece of poetry. God bless you.

Audrey, I read this when you first posted it, and a few more times since. Very moving, simply awesome poetry.

This is something I could read again and again. Superb.

This is, indeed, a beautiful poem using the most appropriate WORDS. You applied the word 'abeyance' in a very crucial point of the poem.

You are so talented

Just emotional and beautiful.
