I enjoyed your contest entry, Boogienights. Its presentation was
great--I liked the color scheme, the image, the rhyme scheme,
and the story. You did a great job for a twelve-year-old. Your
words were well thought out and meaningful. It's amazing what
your young mind put together in this poem.
Thanks for sharing and best wishes, Jan

This is pretty good for being some of your first writings. I love the rhyming in this poem, it is my favorite style of poetry. The artwork is beautiful and adds much to the poem. Best of luck in the contest.

You were a good poet even at the outset of your awaking to the joys of writing, this is one of those easier forms, but the most affective with this ballad style poem, with abcb rhyming and a super theme, very affective, well done, blessings Roy

Virtual six, dear Sharon. A beautiful love poem and aptly illustrated. I can't imagine writing this at the young age of thirteen. My goodness, what a deep soul you have. Sending you my best today as always and best wishes for the upcoming contest,

    Thank you for your kind words. I was a bit of a drama queen at that age, if truth be told. I was obsessed with star - crossed lovers and reading a lot of Edgar Allen Poe at the time. Thanks again for reading my poem. :)

I think this is brilliant, especially for such an early piece. It's like romance taken to a sinister extreme. I love that there's a sense of triumph to is, even though it's about making the ultimate sacrifice. Really well written.

Yikes, were you ever an amazing writer at twelve!! Your English teacher must have just loved having you in his/her class!! This is so vivid and (this is not a water reference here) deep! It made my heart race all the while I was reading it, because I just knew the narrator was going to join his love.

I'm so mad that I didn't save a sixth star for this!!

Wow! this is a good poem to me. It has a clear sad, longing message that you present well. You use personification effectively~ the sea sighs, the wind whispers. Basically, this is a good older writing.
