Running,jumping and flying as i speed through the forest.
I run to try to get away from the wounds you just inflicted onto me.
Sadly i know i can not run from my troubles, but it helps me escape.
The feeling of sticks and twigs crunching under my bare feet.
My senses become energized like a live wire. I hear the
scattering of the animals as they flee from my approach.
I smell the crisp cleanliness of a mountain stream running
over the rock bed. I look and see the blood blotting my shirt.
I finally see and feel the wounds you inflicted onto me.
You broke my heart and now it bleeds. I am getting away
from you, my heart will heal in time ,
from the wounds you inflicted.

You have a crisp and clear imagery laid out here. Kudos to that. However, no matter how I force myself to recognize it as a form of poetry, your "poem" really looks to me more like a prose with lyrical undertones. Additionally, the last line seems to be forced and a bit tired. And I think that the use of repetition (which usually make a poem more dramatic and powerful) didn't work here. Please

Keep Writing!
Love your enemies, just in case your friends turn out to be a bunch of bastards.

All I can think right now is that that is some great imagery. I saw the whole thing play out in my mind in great detail, and it takes a lot to do that. It's short, but in my opinion it's powerful. So great work :]

In the winter months, snowstorms and rainfall in the Patagonian Ice Fields can drastically affect the landscape. Worsened by heavy winds, such storms can reduce visibility and lead to glacial calving, ice collapses, and avalanches. During these conditions, travel is not advised.
