Shadows are longer than the trees
as the lady bug dances,
and all the critters of the forest
rejoice like the

dragon flies who glide past,
fish soaring in the sky,
and beetles that look like glistening beads.

This all happens when
Dandelions are not weeds.

And the song of the forest plays.
Sweet melodies mend
broken stinging bees.
Just because the

shadows are longer than the trees
while lady bugs dance,
and all the critters of the forest
rejoice in symphonies.
Just some of the beauty I see around me came out onto paper. Finally, something not emo!

Oh, by beauty, I mean a bug that landed on me and made me spill everything I was holding onto. Stupid lady bug.

It's easier to write good poetry about emo things because people form bonds to the things they have been through, or the emotions they feel.
Things like physical beauty you see are a lot harder to portray because it's not something you feel. That's were true kill comes in, which you exemplified perfectly here. I especially like the line about dandelions, because I've always loved them and never understood why people would call them something as horrible as a weed :)

good job!! :D
