Lachrymose

Barren trees of winter's song
Cast by my pretty ear
These tattered rags did not belong
Within this river clear.

Reveries of dreaming child
Haunt my every thought
Bring back the dreams of running wild
For fear of being caught.

A touch of ice in every stare
Like flaming stars of sky
No other bones of you compare
To that of those who die.

Immortal wounds within my eye
Did cast a bonnie glow
Of rivers streaming from the sky
Oh tears, why do you flow?

The willow sighs at my desire
To weep and never see
Yet to be blind by salty mire
Forever I will be.

Falling slowly from above
No wings do catch my fall
Feathers fray of shattered love
And float to earthly halls.

The hint of blue in every tear
Spark an untold light
Of everything I once held dear
Yet fled within the night.

Barren trees of winter's song
Cast by my pretty ears
These saline streams did not belong...

Nor my dreams of tears.

=====
Thought I'd write a little something cold and sad...

This one was so good. It got to me somehow and made me just like Wow, I can relate to it so it's kinda scary.Excellent post.

Hehe, the last three words is the title of one of my paradelles.     You little phrase snatcher.
I think this is good, Leah.  Not great, not bad, but good.  It's a fine example of your talent but I found its mechanics were lacking only a little bit.  In some places the flow was interrupted, I felt this poem could use a few more techiques to help it flow.  Some lines popped out on me, this whole thing flows alright but it could be better.
Overall I can't say much about this poem.  It seems pretty complete as it is, so I'd say just leave it this way.
Love the title, Leah.

This is pretty depressing, but it was well written. I thought you did an awesome job on this one. I found the title to be quite interesting.  

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