Bracelets In A Box (Free verse) by cuddlytiger17

As each night slowly fades away And turns into another weary day I still find myself thinking of you And everything we’ve been through I remember the ecstasy of your laugh The gentleness in your eyes And the truth in your lies I recall just how peaceful you made me feel And how what we had felt so real But as time and distance became our enemy We were forced to say farewell And leave fate the power to tell With hearing the clock’s tick-tocks I recollect memories of you And bracelets in a box.

Bow'ls. You can write about anything and make it at least halfway interesting. Cuddlytiger's problem is that she's too young to have read very much poetry, so she can't have any clue how many thousands of times these feelings have been expressed in exactly the same way, and why that would be so irritating to anyone reading a poem like this. When she responds to this, it'll probably be to the effect that she doesn't care how many times other people have written the same thing etc etc etc. That kind of talk is bow'ls to the max. Listen carefully, cuddlytiger:

THAT'S NOT THE POINT OF POETRY. THE POINT OF POETRY IS TO INTEREST OTHER PEOPLE.

I say, go ahead writing about your broken heart or whatever, but start thinking about how to do it originally and interestingly. You might start by clicking Random and reading (without commenting) until your retinas detach.
