It was a beautiful morning
the sun was covered by the clouds, up setting
I looked at a pile of frames
Not wanting to remember your name

Cold air, as I breathed into my lungs
You didn’t say anything when you were gone
The unforgettable past I want to rewind
Now, all I really do is to forget

The birds in the air were singing sweetly
I thought that voice of yours wasn’t deep
You kind of remind me how I was sleepy
Resting against the warmth of your skin

The flowers were dancing gracefully
I thought being with you was the same
That all of our dreams we’re believing
Can be settled in any way

Now I know why the skies change in color
You depend on me so much
Every time you say you want to go
Never in my heart had you said that you love me so

I really like the idea of this poem, I like the images that you used like the "flowers dancing gracefully".

My only criticism is that some of the lines don't really make sense, it's quite confusing. For example, when you say "Now, I really do is to forget, I was right". I don't know if you wrote it like this intentionally but maybe you could tweak a few lines so it's easier to understand.

Just one more small thing is that the grammar is a bit wrong in some places like "The birds in the air was singing sweetly". It should be were. Just little things like that but otherwise it's a really nice poem and flows nicely :)

I agree with Izzy. It's a very nice poem, but there are a few things I'd like to say.

Not only is it hard to understand, but the grammar isn't right in the phrase:
Now, I really do is to forget, I was right

I think it would be better if it was "Now, all I really do is forget" or something like that.

Otherwise, extremely lovely poem, and keep on writing such beautiful stuff! :D

Hey Yuriiko,

I thought it was a beautiful poem. It flowed just so smoothly, and was so heart-felt and the description of your feelings was amazing. It was so gentle, yet meaningful to read, and I loved reading it. I love the wording in this:
"The birds in the air were singing sweetly" - loved that line!

"The flowers were dancing gracefully" is another line I adore. The imagery (as someone said) is really good. There are bits of this poem that are just sunny and make me smile when I read them. I also see you've tweaked it up a little, good work.

I felt this really came from deep within you, and I felt the emotion too. I got it. It was an amazing poem, and I absolutely love reading your pieces. My best wishes for your future writing!
