To Make Amends
January 16, 2009
Outside my window I see the rain
Falling around leaves of colors that change
With each day a smile I try to feign
Hours passed with words not exchanged
The day you left, you took a piece of me
You know? An empty hole in my heart
Only to be filled by your plea
And the regrets of your depart
Another day I see a horrid storm
And then your shadow comes to view
Your mouth preaching words of reform
Your face alight with a golden hue
“I’m sorry to cause you such despair dear
Come back here. Your smile makes me see clear”

Very expressively written!
This student worked on a video project for me. Had I known she had such writing talents, I would have had her working on some parts of the script, not merely memorizing it.

Unique imagery filled my mind with the first and third stanzas. However, the second sounded trite - like old song lyrics. Changing that up would improve the poem although I rated yours best.
