My world contains a few simple things:
Oceans of pain,
Rivers of sorrow,
Mountains of trials,
Valleys of failure,
A black churning sky,
And a golden palace,
Shining your light to the ends of this pitiful land

And from the windows of our house,
I now see:
Oceans of ecstasy
Rivers of bliss
Mountains of peace
Valleys of accomplishments
And a ruby sunset

"Cogito ergo sum"-I think, therefore I exist
"Optimi consiliarii mortui"-learn from the past
"Otia dant vitia"-the devil finds work for idle hands

I liked this one. It was short and to the point. At first I thought this was going to be a dark,sad poem, but then you threw my first impression right back in my face. This was nice.

Very positive tone at the end of the poem. I thought you did just fine here on this one.
Hope to see more.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

Ooh... good job!  This was a very unique poem... I can't say much more than that.  It had a great meaning and I really enjoyed it!

This is great poem... I can tell you've got some talent that will be appreciated here.  Thanks for sharing, and good job.

I never thought that you would ever be the one to let me down. I guess that just goes to show how wrong I always am.
