evolution (nothing special to special...something)
turtlepoet

time changes everything
life to death and winter to spring
kind of funny how it changed her to you
and me from fifty cents to everything you want


I knew him;
 1
he introduced me
 2
to his her.
 3
she introduced me
 4
to one of her her's;
 5
and she was mad.
 6
his her concluded,
 7
that a new her was my future.
 8
so she introduced me to her.
 9
I used to think,
 10
that I'd never find her...
 11
that one person,
 12
who would pull me through.
 13
like phoenix blood
 14
begins to pump from dust
 15
my soul had rebirthed
 16
itself gloriously
 17
heart began pumping
 18
warm fluid again
 19
she doesn't know it
 20
but she saved me
 21
I was done
 22
at my wits end
 23
tired of fifty cents
 24
and ready to end
 25
as nothing special...
 26
then her
 27
she changed
 28
my thought process
 29
in a matter of days
 30
so here I am
 31
new refreshed
 32
ready to grab the bull
 33
by the horns and grind
 34
it into submission
 35
that's me...
 36
special something

Probably most people stop at L3 and shake there head then at L5 they say to themselves they are actually doing this on purpose, and by L7 they quit reading the poem. It is a contrivance that does not work, although I see that one person considers this poem a favorite (although they have not commented).

Many cliches such as grab the bull by the horns - wits end. Poem really needs your original words. His her her - like nails on a chalkboard. Good try though.

i really liked the way you wrote this, especially how you said "hid her" and "one of her her's". i also like how this relates to your previous poem, it gives it more strength, in my opinion. i don't really have any suggestions for edits now. i might come back later.

line 14- phoenix. the first few lines confused me for a little while, but then i got the hang of it. good job :)

L4 doesn't need comma
L6 doesn't need capital, and i think should end in full stop, but i'm not sure

before i go through the rest, could you work out where you need/want the capitals and punctuation, because it confuses me trying to work out if it is part of the same sentence and idea, or a new one. and then hopefully i'll be back sooner, and not forget about this again :)
