In 4 • Old Poetry

Spoiler! :

Okay. So what I'm going to do is... this. I have two versions of a poem; one old, one new. The old one is only slightly edited from the original, and the new one is drastically edited. P'raps you could guess which is which, but I would so like to know which sounds better. They are, basically, the same poem, with different words and a different message on the way. They both started out in the same place inside my head.

I was a bit confused reading this the first time. I read it once more and I started to get it, very well written poem. New and orginal and that's what I live. Your imagery was set off perfectly, maybe you could make it so less confusing but overall very will written poem.
I would say stanza two was my favorite because it just had a certian rythem that I just loved. You a good writer I can tell, next time make it longer because I am sure you could of added a lot of great things.
Keep up the writing!

In my opinion the second sounds better but both are good. You probably could combine them if you wanted too. At first I read the two versions as one whole, because I didn't read the stuff above, and it seemed pretty good that way. But overall it all matters on your own opinion of it so do as you like :)
