Nothing Has Changed
January 8, 2017
The leaves have blossomed
The cherries have bloomed
The sun shone brighter than yesterday
But yet still nothing has changed
The clock still ticks
Tears still shed
The wind still blows away
nothing has changed
The leaves have crippled
The cherries now white petals on the side
The sun loomed over the gray clouds
But still nothing changed
I still press my back to bark of a dark willow tree
Humming in despair
Hoping that today
Something would change
But I stood still and the world went on
The world flew past
Changing
A step onto the pavement
Something was done
I moved to the world
And change was
Inevitable

I love your style. It is kind of similar to mine, but, then again, I love anything using imagery.

This is pretty. The visual imagery is great (something I majorly struggle with) and a lot of people can relate to how "if you want to make the world a better place take a look at yourself and make that change"- Michael Jackson. Your other poems are nice also, keep writing. Also this feels like a song more than a poem to me, maybe try that if you want?

This poem had a nice flow to it. I especially loved the imagery! The only thing that I have to point out is the character's motive. Why do they want things to change? Is it because life is monotonous, or something else? I think if you add an extra stanza or so, hinting about the character's goal/backstory, it will make readers feel more towards the character :) other than that, this was really well done! Excellent grammar, spelling, all that jazz :)
