Plainly know my heart is set. Young men love Not truly in their hearts but in their eyes And more inconsistent than the wind. I begin a despised course Where you take all I have. At what oppression is love grief? This love Too much of my own Is a madness most discreet. I have lost myself. Here is love and sadness. This poem represents love, and how it carries sorrow along with it. No love is perfect, and most often, such strong passion for another person results in more pain than happiness. The story Romeo and Juliet is no exception. Their love causes more than just emotional damage: it causes death. Romeo does not truly love Juliet because he bases his feelings off of only her beauty. This false sense of endearment ultimately prompts their untimely death.

I liked what you decided to focus on, you took a different part and really nailed the idea of making it your own. I think the feeling you gave off was strong.

Ava, I really loved your poem, because it sounded like a true poet. It was very mysterious and left thoughts after. The first sentence was very deep, and I also really like the sentence about madness not being so descreet. Over all, I think this is one of the best found poems I've seen and you did a really good job.

This poem is so impactful! Love is truly one of the biggest hardships for anyone, but more often than not, is much greater a blessing than it is a curse. The word choices you used are very strong and flow well. It sounds like you simply wrote it rather than took words from a tragedy.
