Sometimes when you live,
You live to the fullest.
Sometimes when you bleed,
You lose to much blood.

Hi,
I like your short poignant verse,
feel the last word is unnecessary,
and it should end at "much" ... just
a suggestion, thanks for posting.
Hey Scooby,
Good to see you back. Hope everything is okay.
I really appreciated the succinctness of this poem, so much is said in said a little place. Those are my favorite sorts of poems.
Two tiny things:
I do agree with themoonman that the last word could possibly go (or maybe even change to something like like "too much of yourself" just something to avoid the close repetition of bleed/blood, especially in such a short and poignant poem)
"lose to much" --> "lose too much"
Hope you don't mind the suggestions! I hope this poem marks a return for you with more like this.
Take care,
Kelsey
well stated
not much to add to such a short piece, one worth quoting. I would, though, adjust the title.
