This was simple and thought provoking. There's a world of possibilities to the reader, and that's cool.
I didn't like "blew it all away" either. I'm not sure, but I don't think that last line needs to rhyme with anything. The rest of the poem doesn't have a rhyme pattern, so I wouldn't suggest making it rhyme with any of the words in the poem.
this is sweet and i loved the 'seeing a void' bit. its just totally unique. i'd say something about commas and stuff like that but im not too good with that myself. anyway gotta go.
keep writing!
I liked the first stanza, though a comma or two wouldn't go amiss. It flowed well and had good rhythm. I liked the alliteration of the first line, and I also enjoyed "seeing a void". (Admittedly, not for the same reasons as Lizzy. I'd never heard that before...)
I think I'd rework the second stanza. "Nothing doing" and "Blew it all away" sound a little odd to me, and I think that the stanza overall could do with a little polish and tightening, as it's weak in comparison with the first.
Hope this helps.
I liked this. It was short and sweet and I thought it flowed really well.
I especially liked the line "Seeing a void" and this is maybe for all the wrong reasons as when I read it, I referred back to my brain about those who do not like looking in mirrors for the fear of losing their soul, or evil souls coming back at them.
But yes, I liked.
