Black

Black is the host of the unwelcomed death,

The color of scare and fright,

The unpredictable mystery,

A cause of sadness and depression,

And a wilted flower in a vase.

 

Black devours all light and shuts people out,

It is the color of the unwanted but needed,

Black frightens children in the dead of night,

But really, Black is what separates you from me.

Author's Note

Tried again... I don't know if I am good at poetry though... I think I'll stick to writing stories and novels, thank you. Review honestly, please!

Really, really good! Why don't you think you can't do poetry again? :) Don't underestimate yourself, because you have a real gift here, and the more you write the better you'll get. The first line is perfect, haunting and sets the tone for the entire poem. Great opening line. Keep writing poetry (not that you should stop writing your stories, because they're really good too)!

This is very good! I love how you described black, although it isn't always a negative color.

[Fabian Franco]

Yeah, this is great. I tend to say this about everything, but it's an interesting idea. Everybody has their different ways of poetry, I know I do. It's not bad.

I lvoe this, how could you think this is terrible? Brynna! You are great! Hoenstly... No lies here!

[~Artemis~]

thing about poetry is, everyone approaches it with a different voice, so know one can write a poem like you do. I personally think it was brilliant poem, I loved your word choice and how you described black without actually listing descriptions, it was very effective.
