I miss the days with no fears,
days not flooded with tears,
days of dreaming and hope,
days where I could never know.
I miss the time,
unaltered rhyme,
free to fly in words so real,
perfectly describing how I feel.
A falling star fell from your heart and landed in my eyes. I screamed aloud as it tore through them and now it's left me blind.

thanks :) I don't usually write poetry that short. At first, I started typing a longer poem, but I deleted a lot of that. I wanted to test my skills, and I'm glad to hear it worked out.

I can really relate to this! I've been feeling all those simple happy days are gone, and now everything is either graded or judged. I guess you could say i miss those days when i was younger and never had to deal with 'grown up talk'. Nonetheless, Great poem! I always prefer short poems, it's just attracts me to a poem if it's shorter. anyways, I loved it!

I like this poem, though I think it might be a little too short. Having said that, I do agree that that's part of its beauty, but maybe just a little longer, still being simple of course.

Wow. I like! It's short, but I could absolutely relate. Just... wow. I've re-read it a few times already and I can't get enought of how great it is. The emotion, the simplicity... great job.

I don't obsess.

I think.

Intensely.

I miss the days with no fears, Don't we all? :/ You did a great job at catching the reader's interest and making it personal right from the start.
days not flooded with tears, Love it. I can relate, and I'm sure a lot of people can.
days of dreaming and hope,Shouldn't this rhyme with know? You forgot your rhyme scheme in these two lines.
days where I could never know.This line wasn't as strong. Never know what? Don't people usually like knowing? Make this more definite, more sure.
I miss the time,
unaltered rhyme,I don't really like this, it sounds good, rhymes well, but it sounds short and vague and unfeeling compared to the rest of your poem.
free to fly in words so real,
perfectly describing how I feel.I like this ending.


Basically, your whole poem captured your feeling very well. It could be improved, but it is great anyway. You are an amazing writer. So, keep writing! Hope my review was helpful.
