Subject - Parting

A parting seems to bring strong emotions and that generally yields good poetry... or at least poetry that elicits strong emotions from the reader also.

Poetry is the establishment of a metaphorical link between white butterfly-wings and the scraps of torn up love-letters. - Carl Sandburg
