I didn’t edit this

I left it this way

Raw and pure

Like a winter wind

No

It might not rhyme

But that’s not what life is about

Is it?

I didn’t edit this

It may be

Full of mistakes

But I don't care

I leave this poem

For you

Unedited.

That was a great idea! I really liked how you made the poem have the feeling you were talking about in it! I hope you understand what I'm saying sometimes I have a hard time explaining things! ;) wink!

I must admit that I really like this. I like the simplicity and yet the deep thoughts that make up this poem. My only criticizism (and really can't even be called a criticism) is that the word "this" in the title should be capitalized.

&quot;Duct tape is like the force. It has a light side, a dark side, and it holds the world together.&quot; <br /> <br /> Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another,<br /> &quot;What! You too? I thought I was the only one.&quot;<br /> - C. S. Lewis

WOAH. this was pure, raw, captivating, intense! I could throw words together to describe how wonderful this poem was, but it wouldn't get my point across. I loved the simplicity of it all; it was just purely you getting your feelings across in the poem. No rhymes to throw you off, no rhythm to follow; No, it was just unbound and free to go on its own course. :D good job!

I like this concept a lot. It's very eye catching. It's also written really well. The only part I'd suggest looking over is the ending. The whole piece seems as like it's talking about the world in general but then at the end you mention a person. I'd say either insert more foreshadowing or change the ending. That's just my opinion of course! Great job, otherwise!

&quot;Because I knew you, I have been changed for good&quot; AND &quot;&#039;Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all&quot;

It comes across exactly as you wanted it to be- untainted, raw, and all the better for it. It's literally your words on paper. Great job. :)
