Snow in May

Snow in May,
Snow in May,
It just had to
Snow in May.

Couldn’t say
It made my day:
I can but rue
The snow in May.

I agree with poppy.

I agree with poppy, it reminds me of a poem I wrote in the sixth grade called "The Little Star" I wrote it talking about how all the girls in my school were fake and there was nothing I could do about it. Very simple, a bit longer than yours. But again very simple. I was conversing whether or not to post it, I think I shouldn't. I am afraid that I would only recieve critisism; I'm getting off subject, but I like it. I do need inspiration, I'm running out of ideas for posting. :/

I would like to point out

I would like to point out some of my thoughts in here, but I think I will refrain. I'm really glad that people are criticising this, as it was one of my first batch of "poems". I think it may sound better aloud - I did try to put a lot of ambiguity in here, so I do hope it doesn't come across as that simple! If so, well what can I say, I don't expect EVERYTHING I feverishly dream up to be 'good stuff'. Still, I like the way it sounds.

Inspiration?

Hmm...

Well, what's going on in your life? I bet there's something you'd like to write about.

I am sorry. I never meant to

I am sorry. I never meant to hurt your feelings. But what's going on in my life? Not much! most recent, is I got a new boyfriend! I believe that's what's causing my problem! I am better at writing sorrowful poems, and well ever since he came around, I can barely write anything at all! I tried writing a love poem, they end up sounding corny. xP its a bittersweet moment.

You didn't! I came on here to

You didn't! I came on here to be torn apart (not emotionally, technically) and I'm glad that I am getting pointers with this poem.

Ah yes...

Happiness has a way of not wanting itself written down.

You can write something to him... or for him... if he's the biggest thing on your mind. But yes, do add a dash of realism, because corny is always a risk! Maybe read some of Donne or Shakespeare's love sonnets... those guys could do it and so can you.

All right I will try, and I

All right I will try, and I am totally sure at first I will fail. xD Thank you for the encouragement, and I guess I will have to do my homework too! I will deffintely work on it. But as of right now that is the only thing that is worth talking about in my life...and that is sad. :/

Yeah... God I sound like a

Yeah... God I sound like a teacher... *lone gunshot*

But seriously... it's not sad... just...enjoy it?

Do I really need to say that?

It's the best thing of all. At least I think that. There's lots of other stuff going on in my life, but you know, for my part I always come back to that.

I will while it lasts. Its

I will while it lasts. Its very funny, when I was younger in my teen years, I could only write love poems. I sucked at everything else, I kept wishing I could write deep meaningful poems like a lot of people do. Well then heartbreak striked, and now I suck at writing love poems and can only write sorrowful ones. You get what you wish for, right? Maybe I should wish for both...but with my luck I'll end up with neither!
