The End of the World

The End of the World
Written by Kelly Ann Wilson

You can try to comfort me
With how the moon prevails and pulls the tides

The wheat still turns golden brown
From the sun which still shines

And maybe it’s true the rivers run on
Between the ever-growing pines

You can say it’s not the end of the world
Oh, but it is the end of mine

Hello Kelly Ann,

I too, enjoyed your poem. my favorite lines are:

You can say it’s not the end of the world
Oh, but it is the end of mine

Some punctuation would be nice. Otherwise there is nothing I would change.
Would you please read my poem titled: Snow Globes (?) I would really value your opinion. Thank you.

*hugs, Cat
