Ashes To Ashes Poem by Linda A

From the soil and, back to the soil! Birth and death. Nice work.

Your poem's tone of melancholy persists for some time after one has read it. A well written poem, I must say, because it touches the readers' mind. A poem written in darkness, but the deeper the night, the closer the morning. John Westlake has echoed my thoughts- 'I hope that this is not how you actually feel about your existence. Hopefully none of your poem will pass and you will be sought after by a prince who will bring you great happiness.' 'Happiness will never meet you and your prince will never seek you' - These lines make the reader sad and somber. 'You'll be a stain on the soil' - A powerful proclamation.

Dark facts about life and a beautiful poem for happiness in distance.

Dark facts and one mockingly laughed out question. A mockery contiued into the 2nd stanza where hopes are denouced as mere faerie tales. My favourite line is below; the s's really make the sentence spit itself out You'll be a stain on the soil  ...fitting.
