This is a poem I wrote for school based off of "The Mending Wall" by Robert Frost. Please don't feel obliged to say you liked it, and remember I appreciate any constructive criticism!

Stuck together like glue, we were one of the few

Who had no wall between them

Walked abreast through every hurdle and test

No boulders could faze us

But soon enough, rumors went around

Cracks spread through our frozen ground

No more to each other were we true

For we had gone completely askew

Lies were in bold and truths were no longer gold

The current wall between us was even growing old

Neighbors would tell us that in some more time

Everything would be all well and fine

But no amount of mending can renew what's no longer pending

For everything's gone

The fire no longer has a match

To come back to life
