Old Teenage Poems
COMMENTS
Mary Peterson 16 August 2007

I love the beginning of this poem - the first two stanzas express beautifully the transience of human life, and its borders. And the rest of the poem leads naturally to the end - 'Life is yours to spend... one day it will be too late.' Wonderful observations in one so young. Now to technicalities - in stanza 2 you use the wrong verb - should be 'oceans have, ' 'mountains have, ' 'fields have.' I'm sue 'dept' is a typo for 'depth.' And later 'Whipe' should be 'Wipe.' But - a good poem, well thought out - keep writing, I think you have things to say!
