The earth was cold and still
still as death....
The leaves on the trees shone
shone like a dear childs eyes.
the moon in the sky,
like the twinkling stars.

A gust of fire lighted
all changed to chaos.

Children crying,
adults screaming,
then everything was dead.

The earth had faded away,
away far far away,
the leaves no longer shone,
the moon was now gone.

An angel suddenly came down,
down from above,
and with a little wave of her wand,
the earth was now one.

Tears were flowing down,
cChilds faces.
they had lost there mothers.

For the fire will kepp burning,
Till the day is gone....

There were a few spelling errors and grammatical errors, but other than that this poem was pretty good.  It wasn't the best I've read from you, but you did a nice job on this.  Keep posting.

I have to say that this is not the best thing work by you that i've read, but for a writer of your talent it would be hard for you to write something that wasn't still a pretty good poem.  keep writing and posting.

Sometimes, the things that go unsaid are the only things worth hearing.

This is very different from what I'm used to seeing by you. I liked this change. Very well done.

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
