Nothing takes the blue out of the sky
or the shine out of the sun
or the caress out of the breeze
like good old-fashioned

unrequited love.

Cute!!! Well phrased, really! It's simple, but very powerful! It sounds almost like a quote that belongs on some kind of poster to be hung in peoples' rooms! I'd like to see anyone who has negative feedback for this try to write a poem on the subject. It certainly isn't easy!

I really enjoyed reading this, it describes the emotions of unrequited love perfectly. Reading this poem takes me back to memories of the same feeling. I loved it!

I love the poem and I think anyone who can't see the pure beauty of this poem, should not be on this website. It's simply wonderful and deep. Very deep, and reminds me of only three months ago. Please keep writing.

Alright, so in your opinion what makes this a bad poem? Using circular reasoning (aka- it is bad, because it is bad) is very remedial. If you don't like it then have reasons to back it up. Sure it was a bit cliche, but it was fun to read and fairly well written.
