From the sky she falls
An angel in despair
Plummeting towards the ground
Hearing the rush of air
Her wings spread wide
To catch her fall
And curls her body
Into a small ball
Her descent slows
As her wings catch air
And she lands softly
And she loses all care
For she has fallen
Out of her home
Out of the sky
She once did roam
And she stays
In her tight ball
Because she knows
She's lost it all
As a fallen angel
She is stuck on land
And she must learn
To understand

That was so sad! The rhyme is satisfyingly natural, it doesn't stick out badly but you still notice it. Well done.

I like the message to this piece. You did a great job capturing the imagery and emotion and I really enjoyed reading this. I could easily put myself in this situation. Well done!
