Thank you.

Blackened Roses glimmer with beauty
Dripping Blood that bleeds out hate.
You never thought what you'd leave behind,
but here I am doing just fine.

My eyes, silver blue in the moon light
No longer hate what became of you.
Would you have thought I'd come this far?
The past is always for a reason.

If it wasn't for you I never would write
Right now I'd be different like left to right.
If we were still together I'd still wear pink
If it wasn't for you I'd be different too.

Our ending led me to the best place to be
Which led me to friends who like me for me.
Now I stand a total new girl,
So I'll thank you once...

For changing my world.

Wow.

Ok so I actually had to go back and reread your first one too. What a difference girl! What a difference. The biggest change- imagery. This one stunned me with your imagery and how much you have grown as a poet. I am very proud of you. Only suggestions I have is watch your capitalization- you're still putting I in lower case when it should be upper case, and watch your spelling. Blackend=blackened. If you need to, consult a dictionary when you need help spelling, or use spell check. both are there for a reason. and another suggestion- if a word sounds like it doesn't need to be there, trust your instinct. Dripping Blood that bleeds out the hate. (don't need "the"- if you cut out on the amount you use "the" it'll sound smoother cause there will be less words.) \ Glimmering eyes, a silver blue in the moon light (Glimmering eyes, in silver blue moonlight- takes out two words right there. Experiment a bit. You're growing so much that you should be able to start experimenting with using less words and compacting what you wanna say) There is a definite difference in how much you have grown. Keep it up! Peace n love ((hugs)) Katie

Well I am glad I caught this

Well I am glad I caught this in the stream, so many float by these days. A thank you always stands out. Even when were are thankful for things now in the past. I thought it was very powerful and even pretty. I will have to go and read your first, but as you stated I am sure your growth will be evident. And the story is so very personal and real that I find it completly understandable and relatable. No suggestions arise. I will be sure to catch more of your writes. Great read. Julie D.D.

You are a supernova waiting to happen.

In astronomy terms you are a white dwarf "Supernovae can result from binary star systems in which a carbon-oxygen white dwarf is accreting matter from a companion." (I know it sounds a bit gross but just read accreting as gathering or taking) More or less what your poem says. Glad to see you took Morgana's great feedback. I have nothing more to add. This is a really good poem regardless of your age. May a crazy old elf ask a boon? Write more. Write when you could be doing lesser things. Carry a notebook and pen at all times. The results will be far more spectacular than Facebook updates. And don't write off maths, it will help your poetry and you won't get grounded 8) Cheers, Jess, reprehensibly irrepressible

Some folks never learn that

Some folks never learn that lesson. A poet learns it over and over again. Thank you for your honesty. That's the foundation. ~A Don’t let your victories go to your head, or your failures go to your heart.
