Question: 10 pts!.!.!.is my poem cliche!?
I write occasional poetry, and it seems like recently what I write reads like cliches!.!.!.


Dear Tricia,

Today my hair are gray,
Musing about yesteryear,
Perchance on this day
hoping you'd appear!.

Now looking back today,
If I ever had a choice,
With you there I'd stay
only to hear that voice!.

I grin, and then remember
How your smile glowed,
Seeming to last forever,
that summer, years ago!.

Past seasons have gone,
With it, we'd changed
there it all went wrong
and emotions waned!.

We were naive and young
You couldn't wait forever,
Not biting your tongue,
We couldn't be together!.

With you were the best
moments of my life!.
Watching our night set
it hurt to say goodbye!.

Now nights seem so long
thinking about you here
when I hear that song,
Wishing you were near!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
