I'm not sure about this one, but it seems all right.

her eyes began to water
turning red from the pain
it brought back memories
of those who lost their war

the stinging intensified
as blood began to pour
the life she once had
flashed before her eyes

memories of her sad past
it brought more pain
harsh words filled her head
soon she’ll have no life

it brought more pain
harsh words filled her head
soon she’ll have no life
the pain was suddenly gone

a flash of light before her eyes
before the world went black
she awaken and stared at the roof
trying to remember her past
I'm only laughing on the outside. My smile is just skin deep. If you could see inside I'm really crying

I really didn't like this. The rhythm was off [of course...could entirely also be the fact that trace atkins is playing in the background while I am readin it], it seemed like the order of things was off, there was some repetition where I don't think you meant for there to be repetition. Overall, there is just nothing in this poem that would make me force myself to read it again. It's boring, the imagery isn't astonishing or anything, the ending is weak and frankly a little confusing.

Hope I helping :(

I think the last comment was a bit harsh (no offence intended) but I do agree with some of the points. I didn't think the rhythm flowed very well but with some more work it could be good. :)
I hope the weather is calm as you sail up your heavenly stream,
Suspended clear in the sky are the words that we sing in our dreams,
Let there be love.

I agree. Actually I had no idea why I posted this or even why I did it. I look at it now and it doesn't even make sense to me, actually it never made sense to me at all.

This wasn't that bad, but definitely has plenty of room for reworking. I didn't catch what exactly she was so sad about (her past, but what about it?) Also, the third stanza was basically repeating the second. I would either scrap that one stanza or really rework it into something totally different from the previous.

i agree with the above but it seems easy to work with, the wording just needs to be rearranged alittle. Ane possibly a little more emotion on your part. Not trying to sound elitist but i know sometimes i write so much or when i'm bored and i put a bunch of pretty words on a piece of paper and its boring adn useless. if you put a little more of you into it it might just turn out really really great. cause really i didnt think it was all that bad. :)

it doesn't flow at all but you know this but it has potential if you took time and went over it and fixed it up a little then you could get something out of it. some parts seemed to be repetitive but it has a lot of potential...now I am being repetitive XD



Thomas Edison's last words were "It's very beautiful over there.” I don't know where there is, but I believe it's somewhere, and I hope it's beautiful.
