Description i was 22 when she arrived
kicking and fluttering inside
i was just married and naive
when he moved me
4 hours north
of family, friends, and my life

i used to dance
but that was
4 hours south
of new family, no friends, and no life

i used to be thin
but that was
4 hours south
of new family, no friends, and no life

i was 31 when i realized
there's a piece of me still missing
i left it behind
4 hours to the south
of new family, new friends, and new life

i want to dance
please take me
4 hours south
to old roads, old friends, and a new life

I like the meaning behind the words, it's not that bad. And well formatted.

o wow thanks! and stop expecting your work to be poo-poo'd! as you continue to write your work will only get better. but you have to be more confident about what you put down. the werewolf poem you posted that i just read is good! sure, it might need tweaking, but hell, most of mine need that too.

the werewolf one? not at all. i think youll find if you dont look at it for a while, and then come back to it, that witha bit of tweaking it will be a poem to be proud of. dont give up!
