-Good artwork and nice presentation, Jen.
-You wrote a good poem with a good topic.
-You also offer good advice about grief and tears.
-It is important not to waste it on small things,
even though they can be aggravating.
-You make a very good point in the last line.
-Good luck in the contest.
-One small thing: real is two syllables.

This is great advice, expressed in just a few well chosen words, especially useful for young adults, experiencing the wonders of life and relationships. When I was young, I cried over every disappointment, and then I experienced real grief.
Your poem is well thought out with a meaningful message. Best wishes in the contest.

Comment from Kaiku
I read this a few times and thought it meaningful. I wonder where the emotion would go if your lovely verse were to end in 'joy' That's a different step for sure. Nicely done.

Absolutely, the kind of tears that God stored up in a bottle, are those that are cried for others, compassion was Christ's hallmark, 'He looked on the multitudes and saw the people without a shepherd' beautifully written, blessings Jen, Roy

But it takes a life time to discern what is the "meaningless" grief and "real" grief. A thoughtful version of the old adage to not "cry over spilled milk." Best wishes in the contest!

This is a wonderful entry for the 5-7-5 contest. You give your readers a great message to ponder on with your words. It is so easy to get emotional over trivial things. Thanks for sharing this with us and good luck in the contest.

I really liked the sentiment behind this poem. I think you are absolutely right that we should reserve tears for things that truly deserve them. You got the syllable count right, too. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.
