Once many, now so few
are the tears
I cried
for you
Or so goes
the cliched rhymes-
"I'm reminiscent
of old times."
Shed tears for you?
I don't.
Unburn the bridges?
I won't.

A very powerful and condensed poem. This is good. I really enjoyed your subtle rhyme in places to give the flow an extra shove. You did a very good job constructing this poem. Well done.

A truly touching write and the way you closed out the piece was laced with sadness and very thought provoking. You did very well with a difficult title. Best wishes and thank you for entering my contest.
