A Shawdow's Yearning
November 9, 2012
As the dawn comes up
The ocean tickles my feet,
Bringing a small smile,
I watch and yearn so,
as the sunlight reaches me,
I'm fading, crying,
It's so beautiful,
I can't tear my eyes away,
I am a shawdow,
Fading from the sun,
My yearing is my death wish,
I silently leave.

Hmm. I like this a lot. But, I am a little confused by the title because it implies that the shadow is yearning for something, but it is not exactly clear what that is in the poem. And I am confused on the crying and the death- why is the shadow sad? I think overall you have a good sense of rythm and what sounds good in writing, I would just suggest writing more purposefully about one thing, But also make sure that it is true and real. Nice poem

In a way this gave me chill bumps... I don't even know why but it was beautiful. Great Job
