      Hey, everyone. I wrote a poem called “Forever Perfect” and would like some feedback on it… let me know what you think in all honesty! Dark chocolate style! Be ruthless.

      Forever Perfect

      The pixie child went out to play
      Betwixt the grass and trees one day
      With the wind at her back, and soft earth underfoot
      Her sight: it was caught, one mere step forth she put
      For ’twas a young boy, eyes pure emerald green
      His hair jet-black, waving in a breeze unseen
      His eye caught hers, and the pixie ran
      But it was too late, he held her heart in his hands
      The boy came forth, and the little pixie peeked
      ‘Round the tree, and she gave a small squeak
      The boy, he had seen her, the chance was now to run
      But her feet were rooted to the spot, she couldn’t move one
      The boy now stood beside her, and gave a hello,
      He asked the pixie her name, he wanted to know
      The pixie tilted her head, and murmured her name,
      The most forbidden of things, but she felt he was the same
      She stared into his eyes: pools of purest jade,
      His smile a dream, only goodness it bade
      He reached for her hand, and the pixie shrank back
      For if a human ever touched her, her magic she would lack
      But this boy, he was different, he was a friend
      She somehow knew he was goodhearted, truthful ’til the end
      The pixie fought against every rule she could know
      Then she took the boy’s hand, and felt herself glow
      She knew the power of friendship, stronger than magic
      And stronger than that; love, too, she felt ecstatic
      She had something for herself, someone to love
      Someone to lean on when life became tough
      The pixie felt complete, her hand in the boy’s
      And they played in the woods, the pictures of joy
      From the two children sparked something between
      A tender relationship, still buried, unseen
      As they played in the wood that day and times more,
      The pixie knew it had opened a door
      And she knew it was right when her boy she had told
      “I love you,” and took his hand to hold
      They walked and they played
      Over the grasses’ green blades
      And shared happiness between the trees
      They were forever perfect, ethereal, and always would be.

            Awwww, this was SO SWEET! I love every line of this poem! *heart eyes* And thank you for having a happy ending; I was hoping nothing sad happened because that would’ve broken my heart and I already feel so connected to these characters and it’s just so sweet and… *inhale* Sorry about that. I just love this so much! I don’t have any critiques, so take that as a very well done!!! 🙂

              @writerlexi1216 Thank you so very much; you have no idea what that means to me. I really tried to express the emotion through it and how the characters felt!! Haha np for having a happy ending, these two deserve it! I could never break their small character bean hearts 💕(yes i love them and they have pet names and everything, these guys are like the new owners of my heart) I’m actually writing a short story about these guys, based off of the poem, so if you want when that’s done I can contact you for beta reading!! <333 Nono, it’s fine XD This made me so happy to read!! Thank you very much!!! ❤️✌️

              (p.s. you still like the idea of making a kp book club/writer’s collective? i actually really wanna do it lol <3)

                No problem, girl!! 🙂 I’m happy that it means a lot to you, and you definitely expressed the emotion very well!! Oh, I give my characters little nicknames/pet names all the time, and they’ve owned my heart as well, so I totally understand XD) Oh, really??? Yay, I’m so glad, because I feel so connected to these characters and wanted to know more about them!!! Yes, please contact me! I’d LOVE to beta read! 😀

                    @scripter-of-kingdoms

                    Of course!!! <3333333 Yes, and I adore those names!!! (Koko is so cute, oh my goshh!) Oh, I love those names! Personally, I think my favorite is probably Luma. That’s sooooo pretty, and, I mean, Kodia and Luma sound so adorable together!! *fangirls* Okay, I’ll stop now… I think that’s a good name, but if you’re still indecisive, you could go with Lumi, Nia, Nyx, Lyra, or Plume… Things like that, idk. And YES, I do, and I’ll look out for the story!!

                    (Oh, sure!! That sounds fun!! We’ll figure something out 🙂 Haha, that’s good to know!! Sometimes I like to pretend I’m a criminal mastermind too 😉 But don’t tell anyone! >:3 lol!)
