Your Safe Haven
June 28, 2013
You're walking on a barren road
No one cares if you're coming home
The world around you has grown cold
By the Winter in your soul
Fall has been buried by snow
Along with your dreams of old
Even though you're completely alone.
Remember, my heart is your safe haven
And I'll keep you close to home.

Hey! I have thoroughly enjoyed this poem! It us so powerful & vivid and it displays a variety of emotions. Being short and simple sometimes is really a good thing when you know how to get the point across and still create a vivid picture for the reader in just a few lines. This is certainly one of those poems. Keep up your excellent work because you most definitely behold some pure talent in you!

Oh, hello! I am afraid I have been super busy lately and so I have barely been on TeenInk in the last week and a half. I've recieved some wonderful comments and yet I have not had any time to return the favor! BUT I am here now and of all people you are someone I should talk to more, as you have always been so nice! I have missed talking with you! I hope you are doing well:) Anyways, I love this poem! The movie Safe Haven is really sweet, I enjoyed it.. I plan to read the book when I, of course, get the time. (; I enjoy short poems, they are either good or they aren't! Some writers just aren't able to get everything out in a few lines and some, like you, can! It's really impressive in my opinion. I am one of those people who needs to write fairly lengthy poems to get my point across. But, with that being said, I enjoyed the flow and the bits of rhymes. I love the symbol of winter as well. Symbols are my favorite! As always, great job! And I promise to get to your work more often:) And thank you times a million for always leaving me the kindest comments!
