Dear Iris

Today again, I have come to tell

That once again, all is not well

Of my life, another part

Another page, and my broken heart

I wish I knew, what's going to be

I wish that the future, I could see

My life is torn, like pages of journals

My face is expressionless, like that of in funerals

But you comfort me, even if you don't speak

Because all my strength, hidden you keep

I'm so glad I have you, I just hope that you understand

That through every passing problem, you've been my helping hand

Author's Note

This one is not my best, I know, but it's an ode to my diary Iris. She's been through everything with me, and I'm really glad to have her, because she comforts me and she's someone I can go to when I'm sad or frustrated, or if I simply need to share my feelings with someone.

A beautiful and positive poem. Each of us need a helping hand. I like the complete poem. A positive ending to a outstanding poem.

I think you did quite well on this, only suggestion I have is that you try to find a way to ryme "My life is torn, like pages of journals, My face expressionless, like that of in funerals. Keep in mind i'm not advising to take away those words just try adding maybe a few because all of the poem rymes except that. Of course if that was your intention not to ryme it then it is lovely!!

a wonderful piece of work. my diary knows everything that I'm goin through, and I let all of my feelings out when writing in it. but I don't have a name for it as you do. but, well done. nice work. keep writing and never give up!!

An ode it is ... It takes courage to open up one's heart to another and it also takes a lot of considerations and at times even compromises. A diary serves as the perfect solution to all the problems ...
Great work !!!
