I use this style of writing often. It helps bring together a scattered thought. I enjoyed your word list. Keep up the good work.

Woo-hoo!  It's catching on!
You did a great job on this, Jenn.
Did you consider it to be easy or difficult?  I'd like to know.

Whoa!  I like it.  You've done a good job making a poem that expresses something that is greater than the sum of the poem's parts.  Good work here.

Thanks all. I found this style of poetry unique. Difficult? Not really. I had a situation in particular I was thinking of when I wrote this, so it was kinda easy. Impacting words that made sense to me just kind of flowed.
Thanks again!!

When ever I read these types of poems, I try to figure out what state of mind the person was in and what they were thinking about when they wrote it.  Then when you read it again it means so much more.  I get the feeling this poem is fairly obviously about a friendship.  Now to go any deeper is just assumptions on my part, but I'm going to take a stab at it.  
It starts off:
Renewal
Smile
Wonder
Happiness
Which sounds like the beginning of a good friend ship.  Then it starts to change a little and then the word none... The friendship is over.  The rest of the poem is about why it ended and then again you reinforce the friend ship is "no more."  I think the word "changing" which you used twice really conveys that it was out of your hands, that things just changed and you don't have an explanation for it... and it was certainly not what you expected..
Well that's what I got out of it... I'm prolly way off but it was very interesting to read
Thx

Well Jason,
You couldn't have got too much closer to the real deal. I was really in an unhappy place before I met my friend, hence "renewal"... it was really good, until things started changing. We grew apart, and it went back and forth. But now it's just a total mess, she never talks to me, when we do we fight.   Now it's basically over... I guess that's pretty much it. Thanks for reading.  
xoxo
