I'll Tell You It's Okay,
I'll Tell You I'm Just Fine,
But Really I'll Be Sitting Here,
Wishing You Were Still Mine.

i really like this, because a lot of people think that poetry has to be long and extravagant. it doesnt. it just need to tell how you feel and this definitely does this. great work. and if you get the chance, would you mind checking out some of my stuff? especially "the carousel"

thanks!! =D

I like it. It's short but condensed...you don't need a ton of words to get the point across...and it leaves a stronger impression on the reader then a longer poem on the same topic would.

Thank You So Much For Both The Negitive And Positive Feedback. Everyone Has An Oppinion And Both Help Me Grow As A Write.

This Is Probably The Simplist Piece Of Work Ive Ever Written, (Hence The Name, 'PLAYGROUND Poetry." ) I wanted It To Be Simple.

So Thank You All So Much.

this poem, i'm sure, relates to many people across the world. just because it does not relate to you does not mean that you have to discredit this. it is a very well-written poem, and Aubrey O. was right- the length of a poem does not determine the depth of the content.

This was a great poem! Kudos to you Jaquie, for standing up for it. The length of a poem does not determine the depth of it's content.

This is certainly one of my favorites: "I will become even more undignified than this, and I will be humiliated in my own eyes." -2 Samuel 6:22

My hats off to your brother for achieving this level of genius at such a young age. It is not often that such an advanced poet is found. Your parents must be so proud. I offer my sympathies to you. It must have been difficult maturing in the shadow of such an intelligent sibling who possesses a talent that you obviously can't comprehend very skillfully. Its my deepest wish that you will look more into the study of poetry and realize what talent this piece shows.

God bless,
