Those purple framed glasses,
she wore as a challenge to school,
It was then I saw her first, being scolded,
and thought, her glossy hair looked cool.
The staircase where she sat with her gang,
talking to all who climbed up and down
the bitter whispers from the envious girls
equaled the drooping stare of guys around.
I was her pet doll in her final years
protected, loved and mentored upon
it was a rare privilege people would tell
and i valued her presence as my gourd.
There is no day when i miss her not
or feel her words of caution in my head
And also the one last kiss on my cheeks
just hours before she was found dead.
some say she was killed out of rage
some say she did it on her own,
only I know that neither is the case
she was my angel, she just returned home.

“the drooping stare of guys around” is a good line! A very real creation from a motley combination of words.

that’s a nice way to look at death – “she was my angel, she just returned home” – a lovely story poem
A bitter sweet poem of rememberance…well penned.
Angels will always be remembered.
a soul stirring tribute to a friend. very touchingly written.
Nice tribute to a wonderful friend!
Oh, this was a heartbreaker. Didn’t see the end coming, but then, neither did she, right?
Opaque is right: Angels will always be remembered. We just wish we had them on earth a whole lot longer…
Thank you for this. Amy Barlow Liberatore
This is a very sad story, but it is also wonderful to have an ‘angel’ looking over you! You definitely made the wordle words into something special.
A beautiful and loving tribute!
beautiful poem Nimue.. a tribute to an angel for sure.. though I think maybe you got confused between gourd and guard..! 🙂
My Wordle attempt is Here
Gourd is also used as a thick shell as per old chinese practices ! It was a lucky charm sort if i remember correctly . So i guess it suits here .
Beautiful and so sad. I really like the way you ended it. Beautiful tribute.
