whoa, random bump much?

But really, Jack, this isn't your best. You didn't express anything new or vivid here; and I for one felt nothing.

But I've seen better pieces that are more recent then this, so I'm not too concerned ;)

This was very different to the other poem I read by you, the name of which I can't remember right now...
I know it's very straight forward, but I think that's what makes it so powerful.I could really feel this. I loved the use of the word "darling". I think it created a sort of tenderness which contrasted strikingly with the bluntness of the rest of the poem. It was really interesting in that it felt raw, but it just flowed so well. The short stanzas are really effective, and I loved how you isolated "One day you'll stop", as it really increased its impact.
"Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise."

Seriously, my old poetry should be banned from getting necromanced.

I liked this a lot. It seemed like something I'd heard repeatedly, but you actually did it in a way that sparked my interest and made me want to read it. Bravo to you! I can relate too, which made it even mroe fun to read.
