OK, I decided to post a poem here :oops: . One of my first ones so yeah... hope that you like it.

Slamming Doors and broken hearts

Slamming Doors and broken hearts
Pounded pillows torn apart
Hate and words, no understanding
All the while calm silence reigns

Dignity and stubbornness are ever present here
If ever I have felt this hurt, I have never known

My world has just been torn apart, a perfect day in ruins
Tatters of a former time where peace would reign supreme,
Memories of that former life, slip beneath, unseen

My anger pours out, pain made real
In tears I can’t control
Caught in the middle, it’d just not fair
Whatever are the chances here?

But In my heart I can’t make peace as the other party has
No concern, impassive face, I really do not know


Slamming Doors and broken hearts
Pounded pillows torn apart
Hate and words, no understanding
After that Calm silence reigns

- Simone Robinson

When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.

Dignity and stubbornness are ever present here -- comma

Tatters of a former time where peace would reign supreme,

Memories of that former life, slip beneath, unseen -- period



My anger pours out, pain made real

In tears I can’t control -- period

Caught in the middle, [s]it’d[/s] just not fair -- you mean its?
What[s]ever [/s]are the chances here?-- I suggest taking out the ever on whatever, I'd sound better that way

But In my heart I can’t make peace as the other party has -- commaNo concern, impassive face, I really do not know -- period




Slamming Doors and broken hearts -- comma

Pounded pillows torn apart -- period

Hate and words, no understanding -- comma

After that Calm silence reigns -- period and why'd you capitalize calm?


Over all this was a nice poem, I love the lines, "Slamming doors and broken hearts, pounded pillows torn apart"

It was really awesome. You did really good on this. I loved it. However you made one spelling mistake: it’d
Other then that you did really good. Don't be so shy.

No where to run...baby let's hide. Take her in your arms on a chilling winter's night. Watch the stars twinkle and glisten. Know that you've found the one person that will listen. ~*(ME)*~

Oh yeah I understand this all to well
Believe me!

You write with wisdom beyond your years
and such an emotion conveyed here within

"My world has just been torn apart, a perfect day in ruins

Tatters of a former time where peace would reign supreme,

Memories of that former life, slip beneath, unseen"

Lines 2 AND 3 were Brilliant just Brilliant!

Remember when dad's shoulders were the highest place on earth and your mom was your hero? Race issues were about who ran the fastest, war was only a car game. The most pain you felt was when you skinned your knees, and good byes only meant tomorrow? And we couldn't wait to grow up.
