Change
June 30, 2011
I feel a gentle breeze on my face
as I quietly survey this place
so much has happened here
over the last few years
so much has changed
and yet this place is still the same.
It's like time vanished into thin air
I search for the times I knew
but I can't find them anywhere.
It seems like it was just yesterday
when we laughed and played
but now those days are gone
I am here alone, remembering and wondering
what will happen now
I feel as if I'm dreaming...

Nce job, the only thing is....I want more! But seriously, you did a great job. And since you only have one piece here, you can just look at my "Posthumous" piece instead of both the ones asked earlier

Nice job! like thetruthawaits said, you really convey to your reader that there is so much more to the story of the poem. It keeps the reader interested, which is always awesome! Great job!

I feel like there is so much more to the story. It definitely leaves me wondering what all it is, which is a good thing. I think you left yourself open to expanding the poem, which you could do but isn't necessary! This was great. I loved the way it flowed. i don't know if i like that the last line doesn't fit or if i don't like it. I think you could end it in a better way, it feels like it ends a bit suddenly. i really loved reading this honestly! :) hopefully you'll post more so that i can read more of your writing! Keep it coming! :)

"I feel as if I'm dreaming..." totally doesn't feel like it belongs in the poem- which is perfect! It wakes you up.
