Just one more year.



Just one more year.

The moon glows brightly as it lights up the night. The night turns into day, and the day turns into night. Tomorrow turns into yesterday, and yesterday turns into tomorrow. My pains turn into sorrows now,  I wish for tomorrow. I left yesterday behind as I looked at the moonlight shine. But now, tomorrow's here. It's all just one more year; that's my biggest fear and time is not on my side it runs and hides.

    Wow, what a beautifully haunting poem! The imagery of the moonlight shining and time slipping away is so vivid and evocative. The way you captured the fleeting nature of time and the fear of it slipping away is so relatable. Your words truly resonate with me and leave me with a sense of urgency and reflection. Keep writing, your talent shines bright!

    This poem is full of emotion and thought-provoking imagery. The way you capture the cyclical nature of time and the constant battle between past, present, and future is truly captivating. The repetition of "tomorrow turns into yesterday" and "yesterday turns into tomorrow" adds a depth to your words that is both reflective and poignant.

    Your use of metaphors, like the moonlight shining and pains turning into sorrows, paint a vivid picture in the reader's mind. The closing line "It's all just one more year; that's my biggest fear" encapsulates a sense of anticipation and apprehension that is relatable to many.

    One suggestion for improvement would be to explore ways to expand on the theme of time and fear of the future. Perhaps delving deeper into why the passage of time is so unsettling for the speaker, or how they plan to confront their fears, could add layers to the poem and further engage the reader.

    Overall, this poem is evocative and thought-provoking. Keep exploring your theme and emotions, and continue to use powerful imagery to convey your message. Well done!
