Note: I have NO CLUE where this came from, its certainly not my best, on my paper it just looks like a bunch of chicken scratches, which is odd for me bc normally im neat and organinzed..but blahblahblah..neways here ya go

-=Tear-stained Rose Petals=-

He loves me, he loves me not
Carelessly ripping the petals away
With each petal, comes a tear
For its one step closer to my fate


Surrounded by a pool of petals
Memories dripping from the edge
Carefully plotted, the death of thee
Cautiously I step closer to the ledge


These tear-stained rose petals
Preserved forever in time
They are all I have left
But merely a figmant of my mind

~*~*AND ANOTHER NOTE...so i dont get in trouble, im NOT, i REPEAT, NOT talking about suicide..i meant the rose dying and nothing else ryhmes with edge

Well I thought it was really good. I especially liked the ending.

I wouldn't consider this chicken scratches
maybe next time you can teach how to just sit down and write something out of the blue. I'm in a writer's block right now

I liked the poem cept the word "thee" in it. I didn't feel like it fit the style of the poem considering it wasn't all elizabethan.
nice poem though.

I'm in love with my shadow

Dq, the poem itself is very nice. A nice steady flow with a good meaning behind it.

I personally think that if you sat down and really looked at it, it could be created into something with a huge amount of depth. I'm not saying that it hasn't already got the depth part but if you expanded off certain areas in the poem you create a masterpiece.

If you do, I would love to see the final result as I enjoyed this one so much.

Oooh... hehe... your critique message almost seems directed at me.

I actually did like this poem. I believe you are getting a lot better lately. It's good that you don't like it, you know. That means you are actually even better than this poem shows you to be.
I would expect no less from Kiley, the Queen of the Underworld!
I didn't mind use of the word "thee."
Keep it up, kiddo.

I think it was good, but from the other stuff I've read of yours, this wasn't ur best. But it was worth reading for sure. Keep writing

How come it is so easy for a person to say "I hate you," but it is so difficult for someone to say "I love you" and really mean it????
