I'd like to meet someone who can take the good with the bad and smile with the sad. Love what they have and remember what they had. Always forgive, but never forget. Learn from their mistakes, but never regret. Understand that people change and things go wrong. Also remember, life goes on.

“Adversity is like a strong wind. I don’t mean just that it holds us back from places we might otherwise go. It also tears away from us all but the things that cannot be torn, so that afterward we see ourselves as we really are, and not merely as we might like to be.”

    How've ya been? it's been a very very long time since we've spoken so I thought I'd drop by to see how you're doing and what's new with you? Hopefully everything's good. I finally got back online again, I had to save up and buy a new laptop, then save up and order wireless...so needless to say I've been gone a long long time. And believe me I missed this place a ton. It was always nice to come here and escape after a rough day or to just come and get to chat with great interesting people such as yourself. I hope to hear from you soon and will for sure be checking out some of your new writings Can't wait to both read and hear from ya. Hope we're still friends :/

    you are a great poet, though I find your poetry hard to follow. I am just humbled by poems like where the green grass grows and others. Good job.

    I love the simplicity. Sometimes poems can become damaged with too much clutter. That's a fault I come across with my own writing. Sometimes masterpieces are created with only a few words. This one was beautiful. Your getting there. :-)

    You display some very descriptive words in this piece. I really enjoyed the depth of this poem. As I was reading, it reminded me of moments of frustration where I've wanted to lash out and burst into tears. Poetry and any form of writing is such an excellent release. My favorite part was the ending:

    "The wind blows
    no longer.
    One day, I'll disappear,
    my heart of lead
    amidst a pile of
    gray, gray
    ash."

    The only suggestion for improvement I'd make for this poem is to provide some spacing. Maybe, break it up in sections to make it more readable. Other than that, I really enjoyed this. :-)
