This is the child...

Lost in a long ago melody.

This is the child who dances in the sunlight,
Walking the chasm between the dark and the bright.

This is the child in the rain in October,
Her eyes painted black, she holds a four-leaf-clover.

This is the child who cannot be heard,
Onyx eyes on amber, she devours your every word.

This is the child born of a thousand lies,
This little darling who paints pictures with her eyes.

This is the child you hear in your dreams,
Those dead, dark eyes haunt you with their screams.

This is the child lost to fate...

No, I'm sorry...

You were too late.

Very good. I liked how you decsribed a mystorious kid. I don't like the off key in some parts. Let me quote them for you and give you a better way to get it back to on key.

Ok, change "dark and the bright" to "the dark and light"

This is the child you hear in your dreams,
Those dead, dark eyes haunt you with their screams.

Cut "those" out to make it on key.

Other than that, it's good. Keep up the good work! I hope this helps!

Very nice. I liked it! Just like the others said, the ending didn't pack a punch. However, great job and keep writing.

This is...okay. The words are good, just the structure needs some help. Also, none of the stanzas seem to connect to one another...that's just me though. =)

Dude, this is sweet! The line with the four leaf clover gave me chills. It was pretty sweet. Let me edit just a few things.

After '"sees" should be a period.

This is the child in the rain in October,

The period should be a colon e.g. ;

All in all, I think this was a pretty tight poem! It gave me the creeps. Keep writing, and you are sure to take off.

Thanks so much for the critique everyone!
