I like how it pauses and reads quickly every couple lines, great flow. It sounds like, well, in my opinion, hate towards you about any thing or thought. If you manage to convert one person's angry thoughts to acceptance, more come to take his/her place. Thanks for sharing! :)

It wont be long Summer's almost here.

Light one on fire? Just a little twisted don't you think Libby? Well, It's probably a good thing that 1,00 will take it's place then, because it will that many before you stop. Actually when I first read this I wasn't thinking of the title and when the last part made me think of cigarettes. Interesting thoughts all the same. So, are you suggesting we light them then?

I LIKE it! It's choppy and short, but that's exactly what makes this poem so great. For some reason this poem reads so much like one of those old chinese sayings translated into english, but maybe that's just me. Great write!

This is a poem, if the poet/author deems it so. It falls into the category of Epigram Poetry.

I love the quick pace of it, and where the pauses take you. Very creative!
