You & Me
October 8, 2009
I saw you today,
But you're not as I remember.
Your eyes no longer sparkle,
You've changed since last September.
You were so full of life,
Yet now you are so cold.
Your personality has tarnished,
When you once had a heart of gold.
You fell out of my life,
Just like leaves in the fall.
We were so very close,
Now you're not here at all.
You saw me today,
I'm the same as you remember.
My eyes still sparkle,
I've not changed since last September.

This gave me such a good idea for a love letter to my gf sandy
This was really good!!!! It reminded me of this friend i had but she went to another school and changed...when i saw her last week she seemed distant and more involved with her friends on the other end of the phonerather than the ones with her. i guess this sonnet of yours kind of put it all into words on a page. =D

this poem is lovely in the sense that it rhymes and has a good topic but it's not poetic. The reason i read poetry is to gain as much as possible from as few words as i can. This poem is just words, there is emotion attached to them but nothing deeper, noting that makes one need to read it over again. Go Deeper and you will do better; you have a knack for the rhyme part, not make your words speak more than they're worth.

I thought this poem was beautiful and well-written. He had very good flow and rhythm. Also, I thought the image of "sparkling eyes" was excellent.
