Okay, I wrote this a few months back. Name suggestions are welcome, enjoy

--

Goodbye, Goodbye,
The final words
before we depart,
into strange new worlds.

Goodbye, Goodbye,
the twilight masks our fate,
as we descend into a new place.

We fly like butterflies through the night,
and into the dawn,
to finish our flight.

Hello, Hello,
you seem familiar.
Tell me our name,
and I'll tell you a story;
of how two butterflies flew through the night,
and into the dawn,

to finish their flight.
[Griffinkeeper] 10:45 pm: The guard appears "We have weasels now!"
[Firearris] 10:45 pm: askes the guard for the weasel!
[Griffinkeeper] 10:45 pm: The guard gives Firearris the Weasel.
[Firearris] 10:46 pm: aquires the weasel and renames it "Cat"

Take that, Lumi.

It's a lovely poem! Really sweet. I like the ending where it turns to a happy but suspicious note. If the title is pending I can give you a title, only because I love making up titles when I'm not that good at them X3. Morning Wings, maybe? It's a susgestion. X3 Good job, keep it up!
And I vow oath to this creed and all who are within it, to protect and value them all.

I love it. :)

There are only two nit picks I have.

1. Each new line needs to be capitalized. That's just a basic poem-grammar thing.

2. Try to be a little bit more consistent with your repetitive line. Like "Goodbye, Goodbye" and "Hello, hello." They seem to be randomly scattered to me.

Keep up the good work! God Bless!

Hi Firearris! This was certainly much better then The Cricket, which I think was the last poem I'd reviewed of yours up until now.

What do I like about it? You've got a nice, subtle style and constant rhythm throughout your stanzas. I like the repetition of "Goodbye, Goodbye" at the beginning of the stanzas, and how it later switches to, "Hello, Hello".

I just have one tiny nitpick. In the first stanza, I'd either put a semi-colon after the second "Goodbye" or change the second line to, "These are he final words" so it makes a bit more since.

But otherwise, nice job!
