This is an interesting poem that is cunningly crafted by the author. This is a thought provoking piece of writing that the writer tells the reader. This is food for thought indeed. Why indeed.

Tragic things happen all the time and yet many ask God why when they should ask the person who drove to fast or the maniac with the semi automatic, why?

Yes, people do always ask God why. You portrayed the shock and depth of it well, and one feels the loss, and the inability to function. Well done .

As the prompt requires, this is truly a sad poem. It describes the kind of event - the death of one's fiance - that makes one ask God, "Why?" Good luck to you in the contest, Jeanie Mercer

Yes. This is definitely a good description of how one "heart restricts" at the sight of a police officer when you don't seem a certain loved one around. And we do tend to ask this question, when all is said and done.

The writer delivers a message that touches the heart of the reader. The writer sticks with the abcb rhyme scheme consistently. The rhyming is good. The flow is good as this piece makes my heart shed a tear.

Great poem you have here. The language and word choice was very well thought out and the flow of the poem had a really nice cadence to it. Imagery were strong and the format of the stanzas was ideal for the transitions within the poem. Imagery was good and personally intrigued all of my senses. I give you five stars for an above average effort. Keep up the good work!

This work has reached the exceptional level

This is really, really sad. So much hope and dreams died the same day. The pain is indescribable, yet you've done a great job. You expressed this loss very well with great rhymes, too.

You start out with a great line with the use of the assonance of short "i" sound in constrict/bit.
"I felt my heart constrict a bit,"

Good luck in the contest!

Yes, you're absolutely right, mystery poet, we've all asked God that all important, singularly worded question..."Why?" I know I have, more than once. While we don't hear a definite answer in the form of spoken words, we do catch glimpses of a shooting star, or hear a loon's mournful calling to it's mate across a mist-covered lake. It's then that we realize, He has His reasons, and it's not for us to question them.

Wonderfully written. Perfect flow, impeccable rhyme, and a fantastic presentation overall.
