Lost & Found

I lost 'me' where the foliage had to stream,
in worn out memories, and cold dreams,
on the cliffs and the gulfs of time
where willows whine with no rhyme.
Then I found 'me' - bashing
through the ember
of September,
A phoneix grew_
I found
YOU

it's a nice way to remember how you found your better half in September and expressing it in poetic verse...so we now know that September holds an important day in your calendar...

i suggest that unless there is some syllable count requirement, you may remove one of the two "the" in each of the two lines

in the memories, and the bold dreams,
on the cliffs and the gulfs of time

the poem also has a nice soft feel which goes pretty well with the theme..

For your thoughtful feedback. I think the poem needs a bit of tweeks here and there. I'll be back to it hopefully the coming days.
Appreciate your endless support.

Rule just wrote a mostly rhyming poem..........(trying to give me a heart attack I bet lol). I enjoyed this and good luck in contest

three things if I may :)
First, my name is RulA not RulE
2nd, I rarely write free verse. Most of the time I DO rhyme.
3rd, this is not intended for the contest, unless someone would recommend it. I have already submitted one for the contest. It's not that I expect to win, but I appreciate if you tell me which better fits the bill.
Anyway, appreciate your kind visit.

Please mark it as for

I was only trying to know which qualifies better, the one that I have already submitted or this one.
As always, I highly appreciate your kind visit.
