*LeafO*  Welcome to WdC from the "Newbie Welcome Wagon *LeafO*


Hi Deb ! I saw you just joined the site, so I wanted to stop by and say hello!

*StarO* This is a sweet and sad little poem about growing old and what we as writers will leave behind. I think you did a good job with the line structure of this free verse piece and the stanza breaks add a nice flow as well. My favorite lines are the last three lines of the second stanza. I think they perfectly capture the sadness of the poem and how the subject feels about getting old. I also like the message of the piece that writers can leave behind something of themselves for others to read and enjoy even after they are gone.

*StarG* A couple ideas for edits - I think there is a typo in the fourth line. It should be "Does anyone want to talk to me?" I also stumbled a little on the line near the end of the poem "You will be suddenly gone" - maybe it would read more smoothly if the line read "You will be suddenly be gone" but that might just be my preference.

*Staro* Some general comments about building exposure and readability for your piece are in this dropnote here

*StarG* Don't hesitate to let me know if there is anything I can help you with! Again, welcome to Writing.Com! *Reading*

Take care,
Emily
