Crystalled light tumbles
Falling upon Neptune's gleam
Touching hallowed tides.

Oh what a beautiful picture you have penned my dear.

it is Magnificent!!!

Woohooo Love it  

Yes, I am here, but I am dead, not alive,
my body goes on, my spirit has died
and I though alive, feel dead inside.

Krista, this was really cool!  It's so short, but it doesn't have to be long to be beautiful.  I found it really impressive.  hmmm... maybe there should be more short poems written.  All the imagery and imagination you need is right there.  Great job!

Luv, Erin

With only three short lines and 17 syllables you still manage to create an evocative image! Quite the work, my love

This is beautiful, Krista. I envy anyone who can write a haiku or anything similar. I have to babble on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on to get my point across...

Excellent!

You know - somehow I think you're golden at anything and everything you set out out to do.  Wonderfully done, Krista.
