I used to be a red rose,
all happy and free.
But now I am a black rose,
misunderstood and dying slowly.

I wrote this in sixth grade. We had to write a four-lined poem and include an illustration. I wrote it when I was starting to get depressed and I felt like my world was ending.

Thanks. & I never really added to it because all we could have was four lines in order to turn it in to my teacher.

For a sixth grade poem it's really good. But I think if maybe you added a little more to the poem you could have a beyond amazing poem.
