Challenge
The first poem I ever wrote was before i even knew what a poem was. It was about the rain playing a song for me on my window sill. What was your first? Your very first that you remember? What inspired you to write it? If you still have it, share it with a bit of back story. Let's see how far you've come. :)

Blades of Gold
My first attempt at poetry, written a few years back. My friend was going through some rough times, and one day in class I just started writing
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Dear child, please hear me
For I have been told
You slice up your skin
Use a blade of gold
It brings down tears
That flow like rain
And brings up blood
That only brings pain
School is a battleground
Each day, a strife
At night you dream of ending it
Using your father's knife
So here I sit by your bed
Begging, "Please don't cry."
"Tears of woe won't help you get by."
