I can sense the simple yet profound beauty of her.

Yes, i believe we cause pain for ourselves and everyone else. We can choose to love or inflict pain. Pain can keep us alive for only so long, but love can mend everything. These were the thoughts that arose after i read this poem.

haha, thank you very much. :)

That was a really interesting and off-beat portrait poem.
nearly contradicting iself, but not - yet at the same time giving real details about this girl "biting her nails while saving whales" that's cute.

see, you can write poetry, I can't.
I try to rhyme and it just ends up sounding silly and cliche. You on the other hand, can see words for their sound and arrange them by rhythm.
I may not be able to _write_ good poetry, but I know it when I see it.

good work ^_^

let it go, man!
I'm not using steroids. :(

She's too good of a write for her age

I loved this poem!  It's clear and visual and funky. Fun to read and easy to get into.  There is so much poetry out there that is soul-ripping (I've committed such a crime myself), it's refreshing to read one like this!

thanks. :]

Great to have youth represented.  Enjoyed "acceptance."

:)
That's awesome! Hopefully we can be good friends!

I'm twelve too. I'm also a poet as well.

anyone else confused with this?

thanks, guys. :)
I work hard to get these responses!!!

I Did it My Way
This short poem has been like writing a nightmare.
Every time I get to the finish line an error pops up and wipes it away.
I thought it was really good at one time when I made everything rhyme,
and it came across with what I wanted to say. But that’s neither here nor
there, I finally got it done, and I did it my way.
As I sit here alone staring down at my keyboard
searching my mind for those magical words.
I look at the past and reminisce about all the good
things and good times that I’ve had.
I remember the time when the best was all mine.
My future was set and my goals were defined,
And everything was all going my way.. Everything
that I had seemed solid..Every thing in my life seemed
so pure. I stare at my monitor and watch all of the
yesteryears fly bye. I look over at my printer and ask
myself why. Why oh why did these things pass me bye..
I miss my sweet spouse and the kids running round the
house. I miss my Blue Spruce and the yard that I groomed.
I miss the Bar B Q that I built and the family parties we had.
I miss it all, and my heart fills with tears as I think of
those years and the wonderful life I once had.
Then I say to myself "STOP" your life’s not over yet,
make the best of what you have left. You’ve got friends
galore and so many things to be thankful for. Your wiser
now so share what you know and give help to those
full of need. Show love and compassion to all of your
friends and to all others as well. Let your heart swell with
joy and get rid of those tears. There’s no room in your life
to feel sorry for yourself and the best in life is still yours. So
even though you felt lost now you’ve been found and it’s
time to set yourself free... Remember your moto...
".If it’s gonna be it’s all up to me and that’s the way it has to be."
