I'm just like my favorite quilt.
Full of memories,
Covered in random colors,
and the stains we call regret.

Not only is the patchwork semi-pretty
but it's all been done by hand!
So when you pull a thread too hard,
I'll come apart again.

Hiya Alice! June here!


There isn't much for me to say about this other than I extremely, really, terribly love this, I will star it, and read it often. Totally wonderful.

I think short poems are the best-- they're brief, and whenever they have "alot" in them, I love them. It's not easy to get so much feeling into such a little bit of words, but you've done it wonderfully here, dear.

Let's see. The only error I found here is this:

but its all been done by hand!


The proper form of "its" that you want to use here is it's to show the eliminated "ha" from It has, dear. :)


I love the very slight rhyme that was here. It's not too evident, and it's done perfectly. Well done, Alice!

And yes, I am having great trouble putting my thoughts into words.

Loved it, dear. Keep it up.

June

I corrected your punctuation... All this seems like talking about philosophy and stuff. You make statements that are true in this environment, but in some other, they'd be false...philosophy, as I said. I liked it. June said something about rhyme and I agree with her in some point. You could put one or two more rhyme...

Liked it. It had a nice message, and over all simile was good.
Especially the pulling the quilt apart.
The only thing I would change is, repeat that slight rhyme that spring talked about in the first stanza. It would make it flow better.

Other then that good job. 85/100
