Description
because you seeone sought travel and excitement
a fighter, she wanted to be.
to explore and unravel
the mysteries of you and me.
she wondered and learned
her dreams bursting at the seams,
dancing at tribal ceremonies
running through old cities and towns
trying on majestic crowns,
staring at the deep blue sea
and into a child's sparkling eyes
subverting sidelong glances,
and peoples petty lies.
where the lemon drops grew
and the dandelions blew
the worlds miracles, she devours.
the other,
preferred the known,
a life of comfort
the comfort of objects
and unquestionable people.
the safety harness, she held tight
and never the prey of fright.
following a traditional plan
with whitewashed dreams
marrying a simple man.
and upon the trodden path she steps
she walks and walks again
reminiscing the yesterdays
with placid dreams for tomorrow.
learn to appreciate before it dries
learn to inspire before it dies

I stand in the middle.
A lovely poem I must say, to which I can relate the fullest. There is not much I can critique here as I didn't find anything out of the rule and poems are the hardest to give an honest, objective critique due to their subjective matter.
I like this poem, I really like it. You have a wild imagination and a sensible way with words, they are soft, but their meaning is razor sharp.
Lovely work.
