    In the stanza before the last, I wanted to list the things that are not materialistic, adding only two things that reflects superficiality (the ring and the crown)
    --------------------------------------------------
    You may find this cliche, you may find this
    odd, you may find this weird, but this is
    a true release of true emotions and
    things on my mind.
    "Broken Wing" was the first user name I used
    to submit poetry over p and q (many will remember that).

    However I was only thinking if you are not really happy deep inside it doesn't matter how much money do you have, and how good looking you are. Lucky are those who lack the outer beauty yet have the ability to live happily each single day.

    That's all, yet every thing you find weird, ridiculous or the way I arranged the stanzas in this poem etc etc.. is done ON purpose.

    Nana, your poetry is always a treat to read and it always brings my heart to tears. I love the message of this poem and it really stands out and gets the emotions out in every line that you incorporated into your poem. Each line is so overwhelming sad and then you have hope in another line and then right back to a lost emotion. The flow of the poem was really good and it carried from line to line without break. I also like that you did it in a free verse manner as it flows better then it would if you had tried to restrict it.

    "Soar like a tower ,
    be a sword for the clouds
    shine like city lights
    at the death of the dark
    where crystals burn bright"

    This was my favorite part as it brings out some really good imagery that I found to be very touching in this poem as the reader is in a sad mood and then you use these images to touch the reader even more so. I also like the word choice in this line and also in every line for that matter. Nice and full of life.

    So in all I like the many different emotions this poem brings out and also the message of this poem which many people may and will feel during their life. The poem seemed perfect in every aspect, getting the emotions out like you wanted. Great job and keep writing.
