"I never said it was going to be easy--I said it was going to be worth it."


Not all ideas are diamonds
As not all that glitters is gold
But both these will wither or else grow mold
You say diamonds are forever
And gold is not of the flesh
But even if you say not, wouldn't it be for the best?
But alas people die for them
By silly pursuits of wealth
Little do they know that the richest man is the one of good health

...one word from you will silence me forever. If, however, your feelings have changed, I will have to tell you: you have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love....I love...I love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on. -Mr. Darcy

I think this poem is great! It's witty, has a great rhyme scheme, and actually has a worthwhile message. Love it!

"I say... lets speak it. Lets fight it. Lets write it. There's nothing to hold on to if it's already gone."

I loved this poem. :) The only thing I would say is try to work on the last line. But besides that I really did enjoy this piece. Great job! :)
