Jacob

I don't know you
But you're my brother

The one of two
That's six feet under

I wish we could have met
You'd be awesome I bet

A great guy
Why'd you have to die

Today, it's been 22 years
It's still bringing mom to tears

She can't move on
Her dear child gone

When we visit your tombstone
I leave y'all alone

Just mother and son
Who's life had just begun

You're in a better place
Held in God's grace

THIS ONE!!!!! Just fix little grammar things and change "ya" to you and this one definitely! :D

[Harley (arbiter)]

Like what? And ok ill fix it on the paper copy

My mentor told me that it looks best to actually write out all numbers under twenty. So I would change 6 to six. And in the very end Gods should be God's. That's it, I think :)

[Harley (arbiter)]

Oh. Alrighty

[Falling Leaf.]

Yup. This one's awesome :)

[Felicity's Eve]

Wow. I have a little sister that I would lay my life down for. She even convinced me to not cut once when I was seriously considering it. When I read this, I wondered what it would be like if I hadn't met her. I was almost moved to tears. And I hardly EVER cry!!! :(

This is a great poem and it takes a lot to write something like this. I write about my ordeals, but they are disguised in the plot of my books. You are a lot braver than I am. :)

Great write and best of luck. ^^

[Harley (arbiter)]

Thank you. It means alot

[Felicity's Eve]

No problem. :)

[Lost in Wonderland]

wow, I really liked this. You may not have ever met him, but I can tell by the way you write abut him, you'd have been a good brother

[Harley (arbiter)]

Thank you

Wow this is a very special poem...It's tragic that something like this has happened to you. I can't imagine what that must've been like for your parents, or what it's like living with the knowledge of something like this. Good job.

[Colleen a Bean]

sad but very meaningful I like it and I am sorry you never got to know your brother,

[Zombie Waffle]

I like the straight-forward nature of your poetry.
(A pet peeve of mine is poetry that thinks it's better than it is, which this thankfully is not.)
I like it.
Well Done.

[Miranda Richard]

[1809 Black Plague Decem..]

oh my, this is terrible, but you know, I'm sure he thinks of all of you, my best friend died when I was 33, and I miss him much, ---mishel

[Falling Leaf.]

This is very touching, I love it. Well done.

Keep doing what you're doing,
Savannah
