Somewhere,
in a different city,
I'm sitting,
under a midnight sky,
watching the cars drive by,

and you're where you should be,
looking at the same sky as me.

Simple, but I really like this! It reminds me of when you travel somewhere new and think about what people are doing back home.

I read this a few times, it's not loaded with a lot of words. It still holds a bit of meaning though :)!

"If you wish to be a writer, write" -Epictetus

Very good!

 

I'm not sure why you broke the stanzas up like you did. If it was for emphasis, how about you add a period after "by," and capitalize "and"?

 

Also, I would suggest "just where" and "looking up." I think it places a tad more emphasis, and the extra syllables help to close it out. Honesty, the first time I read it, I added those words subconsciously.

 

Keep it up!

Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, but learning to dance in the rain.

I love this. I often think the same exact thing. How everyone is different, yet we gaze at the same moon every night. It makes you feel a connection with every person on all continents of the Earth. It's a beautiful thing. What would happen if our world were like other planets that had several moons, and people in different parts of the world looked at a different moon? That would be weird! Just a thought! Good job!

I feel this way too about a certain someone. Only thing is, we don't live in the same city! (That's going to change, though!)

...one word from you will silence me forever. If, however, your feelings have changed, I will have to tell you: you have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love....I love...I love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on. -Mr. Darcy

I like this poem a lot! So short and simple, yet it says so much :)

That's crazy! How people are so far away from each other but yet they share the sky.

I love this poem because I can relate.

5/5*
