Acceptance
October 19, 2013
The sun goes up
and the sun goes down,
and we watch it go
and we let it go.
We let everything go,
we have no choice--
we just watch it go--
and sometimes
there is no "good-bye."

I like the simplicity of this poem, and I think the meaning comes across quite clearly. Good work! :)
I like this poem. It has a deeper meaning behind the simple text. I love when poetry does that! However, I would have personally added something more about the similarities between the sun going down and someone leaving. Otherwise, I think it's perfect! :D
I REALLY like the poem and the idea! The repetition of words really makes it meaningful (though you need to capitalize each word at the begining of each line). My only suggestion is that it would be nice to see a more descriptive stanza before that one. Or it could be cool if you started with that stanza you wrote, then wrote a really descriptive stanza and then ended with your begining stanza. That could be cool.

When i was little/I used to point a chubby finger toward the dark sky/And ask my father/why some stars moved and others didn’t/He would laugh and explain that some were airplanes/I still wish on them today ~ Laugh-It-Out
The feathers of a crow are black/The ink of my pen is blacker/The pain of my heart is blackest~ Mckay
If love produced a blossom/I’d take it in my palm/What a blessing, the bright color!/How soothing, such a balm!/I’d keep a petal for my own/The rest, drop from my hands/For such a flower would multiply/And populate the lands~ thesilentraven
And I began to rival legends/Long entombed before my birth./But for all my much envied fame/The lust for more would not abate./The plaques and prizes with my name/Will, like all things, disintegrate. ~ TheEpic95 now known as Helena_Noel
