My Roller Coaster Buddy
I am one of the original Ficletters, way back when Ficlets was on AOL.
Then when there was no where to go, I headed of to Protagonize, nice community, but I couldn't get in the swing of things over there, and then all of a sudden, there was an announcement that a baby Ficlets, Ficly, was born! We were there for a good many years, but alas, some good things must come to an end...
Then, a nice fellow, started Ficlatte. THANK GOODNESS!!
I appreciate the hard work that was put into starting this site here - hopefully that will stay longer than the other two sites.

I usually write poetry, but I do spin out the occasional story here and there.
My poetry began back in 2006/2007, mostly 2007 when a very dear friend had passed. I was young, she was close to my heart and I needed to get my feelings out... some way some how.
I love constructive criticism, so please comment, comment, comment!
My Roller Coaster Buddy,
The man who’d “bomb” my hair,
A man of integrity, kind and fair.
Who loved to tease,
Who was silly and always had fun,
Everyone has a favorite memory of “Brother Murphy”.
To everyone he would meet,
He’d give them a nickname -
You were branded for life.
The greatest memories I have with him,
Are truly the simplest ones.
Throwing “boulders” into the lake,
Bowling, swimming every year -
Anytime with PopPop was a blast.
My PopPop - a great man,
A honorable husband, a strong father,
A fun Grand, a respected friend
but most important of all: A man who loved Jehovah.
His faith and knowledge,
His loyalty to Jehovah,
I’ve always admired.
I will miss him with every fiber of my heart,
Such an amazing man,
Who will never be forgotten,
Will forever be my Roller Coaster Buddy.

I envy your memories with your grandfather here. Not the specifics of roller coasters mind you but the getting out and doing stuff together. They seem so strong! Perhaps I was born too late.
I feel like this is the kind of poem that could be included in an obituary as a loving tribute.
