    First of all, I really love your poems. Second of all, I love this poem. Third of all... here we go!

    Stanza 1:
    "Together in the forest we hide."
    Child-like. Little kids like to hide and play in the woods, and this "memory" you gave us sets a happy, innocent mood in the beginning of the poem.
    "The moon can't see our sins.
    Sun fades in the light."
    A dreamy contrast. All that is ugly of the world disappears when nightfall comes. That's a really sweet thought.

    Stanza 2:
    "and you turned around, standing there."
    A little foreshadowing. We all know that when people (especially "you"s or "he"s) turn around, something bad is probably going to happen.
    "As the earth starts to cry."
    The shade of green in the imagery with 'earth' is a really nice touch.

    Stanza 3:
    "And I fall on the icy grass,"
    Another great contrast with "Hot lips, they say goodbye,". The atmosphere suddenly makes a cold turn, but not an unpleasant one, since icy is a cool, sharp world, but not harsh.
    "As the glowworms one by one start to light. "
    The lighting concept gives a great effect, but not glowworms. I'd seriously switch it to fireflies, since they also dance around on summer nights.

    Title: reflects the poem perfectly, since the poem was simple and full of imagery. You gave taste to the simple picture of summer midnights.

    Well, a job really well done. A wonderful picture you made! 5/5!

    This poem sort of reminds me of a prologue I once read in a Richard Peck book. That book still remains one of my favorite. This poem was really good. Kind of gave me chills when I read the end. ^.^

    Miu,

    I loved the feeling that you portray in this piece... such sadness and sorrow swept over me. It takes alot for a reader to be drawn in and have any emotions.. so that is a great thing that you have accomplished.

    I have a few suggestions however and I hope that they do not offend you.

    *****************

    Mid-night summer fog,
    Together in the forest we hide.
    The moon can't see our sins.
    Sun fades in the light.
    ^^
    Great

    ********************
    The breeze running to my hair,
    and you turned around, standing there.
    Hot lips, they say goodbye,
    As the earth starts to cry.
    ^^^
    Remove and in the second line and maybe revise it to you were..

    ************************
    And I fall on the icy grass,
    wind still caress my ear.
    There is no strength in me to fight.
    As the fireflies one by one start to light.

    ^^
    Remove And from the first line and replace it with as... also..Remove As in the fourth line and replace with while...

    ***************

    Again, please do not be offended. I think overall this poem is very good... These are only my opinions, but the only opinion that really matters is yours hun.

    First off, the title is good and captivating, I just think that you should capitalize s in the 'summer' cause it would look better.

    About the poem: I liked it a lot, it is heartfelt, filled with excellently expressed emotions. The imagery that you portrayed in every stanza is very beautiful despite the overwhelming sadness that is highlighted in this poem. You managed to truly touch me with this piece, I think that it is deep and equally sad and beautiful. The flow is good, very natural and serene from the beginning to the end.

    The last stanza is my favorite. You painted amazing images in my mind within it.

    I have just one suggestion. In my opinion, the second stanza would sound better with few changes:

    - The breeze runs through my hair,
    you turned around, standing there.
    Hot lips, they say goodbye,
    As the earth starts to cry.-

    All in all, this is greatly written piece.

    Awww beautiful... I really like it! I love how its so connected to nature, but I don't fully understand why you put it in sad category, I think it's more nature. But anyway, great poem!
