sorry what i mean is don't force yourself to stop cause you want to make a haiku or anything else just let it come as you go it seems like the best way at least to me to make a great poem not that i'm saying it's not good because it is so far, keep going

not to be mean but that's it that's all your gonna write, i agree it's true cause it's common sense but, that's it. this poem sounds unfinished you should try to continue it and make it make more sense.

A very interesting piece... It's very beautiful although it appears to be so simple. I like the obvious way that this is stated "everybody knows..." I find it strange but creative that you chose to say broken feathers instead of wings.

lol, lol, i saw my one of my favorite short stories that you wrote on the HOME PAGE!! I'm not sure if they pick ones that are the most popular, but when I saw THE MIRROR under fiction on the HOME PAGE, I was like GASP!! I know this one, i know this one! Over excitement... I guess I really like THE MIRROR because I really relate to it. And, yeah. when I saw how many comments I posted under THE MIRROR, I kinda felt I had too many... so yeah...
