Question:i named it lost forever. its for extra credit in english. btw im only 13 so dont be too hard on me im not a professional :)

There’s a girl I used to know,
She had this skin,
Skin pale as snow,
But her eyes,
They blossomed like young spring flowers.
Yet she hid her face,
With an invisible mask
And all the world just wondered
How this happened
Why this happened
And she quietly sits,
Making less noise than a sleeping giraffe,
As close to the window as possible
And she wonders
“What really went wrong?”
And she continues to sit,
And wonder.
Until time brings an end to her thoughts
That’s when the world stops
Finally stops
Stops wondering about that girl
And memories of her,
Her skin pale as snow
Her blossoming eyes,
They’re gone,
All gone.
Lost forever.

so... is that okayish sounding??

i think it really nice except for the part of the sleeping giraffe find something else like the footsteps of a shadow or snow fall stuff like dat but otherwise nice!

pretty cool!

the only think I think is corny is the "Making less noise than a sleeping giraffe" part.

other than that it was pretty good.

its good :)

it sounds like it could be lyrics to a song
nice.

The best poem i've ever heard! Awesome, i want more!

i think that the only part that was a little wierd was the whole "Making less noise than a sleeping giraffe" that doesn't make much sense, otherwise, i love it!

i love it. wat to u think of this one:


When I was a child,
I played by myself in the corner of the schoolyard,
All alone.
I hated dolls and I hated games.
Animals were not friendly,
Birds flew away.
If anyone was looking for me,
I hid behind a tree and called out,
I AM AN ORPHAN!
Now here I am,
Writing these poems,
Imagine.

this is very touching and very good. it make you stop and think what was really on her mind and what had really hurt her. keep writing

This is pretty good XD maybe you can change giraffe to lion?

Yea I liked it alot but yea the giraffe thing through some of it off other than that excellent say something like silent the spirits that passed

I like it but yeah you might want to change the sleeping giraffe thing but it was good one of the best poems i've ever heard

Good Job!
For the line you are considering changing you could try...
Silent as a meandering summer breeze
or
Soundless as the butterflies flight (or replace "flight" with "dancing wings")

Ummm, yeah - if I had more time I could give you more, but alas, work beckons me back to reality. Good luck!
