The Child's Death

Hello I think the poem is nice but I think you could improve the flow in some of the stanzas.

For example:

Like a mirror,
Of the past,
Skin so white it serves as the best contrast.

Flower petals,
Tall tree's,
The lovely smell of the sea breeze.

Hey, Snickerdooly. Here to lend a short review on this. It seems like a very nice poem. ^-^ Edits will be in red and comments in blue, for your eyes!

Beginning the start of endless crowds.

Stunning
Perfection
With the ocean's crystal blue reflection. (I really love this stanza. It's so crisp. But it clashes a tad with the way the other stanzas were written. Two of the lines are single words and the last is one long line. It comes off a little off balance.)

Like a mirror
Of the past(,)
Skin so white it served as the best contrast.

A child's death
At the perfect time(,)
No more nights with nursery rhymes.

This place
Was once
My heaven on earth.

But the death
of a child
Gave birth.

I really liked this piece! The rhyming was really good and I enjoyed the flow and outline of the poem, the ending was not abrupt it was just right but I do wish that it would go on longer
Thanks for posting

Hey thanks for reading this poem is definitely in the process of developing and I know there are many parts that I'm not 100% sure about so reviews and comments would be much appreciated! Also I'm thinking of how to go on with the poem I feel the ending is very weak and abrupt.
