I sit here with your sent still on my clothes
Staring out the window as the soft sound of a music box drones in the distance
Ballerina spinning
The wind blows a cool gentle breeze over the bare tree limbs
As a tornado of brown leaves circle around me
A tear rolls down my cheek now that i know you are gone
I remember you holding her hand
Me left alone in bitter silence..
As a tornado of brown leaves circles around me

Is this about D?

Take care.

cant make it through another days humiliation

I like this better than most of your work... you had more creativity in the visuals in this piece than you usually do.

Nicely done.

You created the scene wonderfully in this poem, so very...atmospheric, I especially like the last line,

i won't comment on punctuation anymore, i promise.  but i had to let you know just one last time.

i really enjoyed the descriptive language in this piece.  do write anything other than poetry?  because i think that if you ventured into prose, you'd really develop.  you seem to have a real knack for it.

just some basic typos:

*scent
*circles [since tornado is the subject in this sentence, not leaves, you would need to make the word circle plural]

reading further, i realised you already knew that.

this is my favourite piece from you yet.  you did an amazing job on this.

but before i finish, i would like to show you a few places to add some punctuation, just as an example.


I sit here with your scent still on my clothes.
Staring out the window as the soft sound of a music box drones in the distance -
ballerina spinning.
The wind blows a cool gentle breeze over the bare tree limbs
As a tornado of brown leaves circles around me.
A tear rolls down my cheek now that I know you are gone.
I remember you holding her hand,
Me left alone in bitter silence...
As a tornado of brown leaves circles around me.


this is a real improvement for you.  

congrats!!

keep posting.
