I’m not sure if this is autobiographical, but I suspect it is – which is why I think it’s so touching, beautiful, and heartfelt. The rhyme and rhythm are quite well done.

For me, the snowflake and daffodil are symbolic. Both are Nature's fragile offerings, and the loss of a loved one makes us feel fragile, too. There is definitely a vulnerable quality to this sad and lovely poem.

Personification of grief in the second stanza was spot-on --
         Then suddenly it jumps out from a box of photographs.

as well as the use of simile –
         Grief hangs around like clinging fog and never leaves for long,

I feel that your poem may make deep connections with those who have lost someone dear. I just lost my mom, and many moments in your poem spoke to me. It’s such an honest tribute, imbued with love and loss.


Thank you for sharing these very personal feelings,
