    Non-specific: I liked it.

    was very believable. I could easily picture the characters, too.




    Nothing Gold Can Stay

    by Robert Frost

    Nature's first green is gold, 
    Her hardest hue to hold. 
    Her early leaf's a flower; 
    But only so an hour. 
    Then leaf subsides to leaf. 
    So Eden sank to grief, 
    So dawn goes down to day. 
    Nothing gold can stay.
