Dear James,

That is so sad, I really liked it. It was very powerful. Your meter and rhyming were great! Woo hoo! I can't rhyme at all, just so you know. I have a knack for writing stories, but rhyming poetry is trying to make pigs fly!

good poem keep up the good work

Hmm... Very, very good. I enjoyed it, but you did contradict yourself. You said "You died without that rose; no blood, no red." and then you said, "It's lethal dark edge, stained by rose red ink." Other than that, this poem is very beautiful, and very chilling. I enjoyed it a lot, though, so keep up the great work, kiddo!

Wow...cold, very moving.

This is really great! I haven't read a lot of poetry on this site written by guys, and yours was a great oen to start with! Stylistically, the "ice cold" at the beginning of each stanza was great, it really tied everything together in the end. I hope to read more of your stuff!

Whoo, funky. This one's neat, gives a good mood setting and overall picture. Kinda makes you wonder 'bout the whole story behind this, great work. _
