did you know that
when swans mate
they mate for life
and when one
dies the other looks
for them forever?
i don’t know much
about swans but
i think that’s
kind of sad. it
must be tiring
looking forever for
something that’s not
there. i wonder if they
ever give up
or if they just
keep on looking
even though deep down
they know that
there isn’t anything left
anymore?

I love the conversational style behind this poem. The question format really works well for the idea you're trying to get across. And I'm a sucker for simple, short poems :) Keep up the good work!
