Ah, this poem's kinda sad. I knew initially he was thinking of either Zelda or Saria. By the end, I knew it was the latter. I remember the first time I played this game, I went through this moment too kind of. After I was seven years in the future, I went to see if I could find Saria on her favorite tree stump, but she wasn't there. So this poem kind of echoes that experience of mine, which makes it really cool.

I thought it was good. it was sad, but not depressing, go-jump-off-the-nearest-builidng (or tree, or buisnessman, if you can't find a building) sad.
Who's POV is it in? i thought it was Link, but I s'pose it could be Zelda. Or saria. Or pretty much ANY OTHER SINGLE PERSON IN THE UNIVERSE.
Lovin' it!

This is such a lovely poem, and I must say that I too enjoyed the scene where Link returns to the Sacred Forest Meadow as an adult and doesn't find Saria, there. Great job, and before I go, I must say that GanondorfxZelda is totally awesome, and that I am in love with the pairing!
I will be looking forward to more updates from you!

sweet poem.
sad, despressing
I would have liked more 'flow'

anyway it's nice.
PS I have a Link/lord of the cross for in the c2

Geez, this poem is depressing.

Of course, half of the stuff involving Link and Saria is. =P

Very nice though

And this is the first time I've read your poetry - this was nice, had a good flow, a little sad and depressing - but that's okay. Had a nice happy turned angsty quality I like - see ya - atchika

Well, there is only one thing I can say: beautiful. I like the ending, truly, I do. You should have put a full stop to the 'You're gone' part, signalling some finality, the crushing of hope, yadda yadda yadda and all that anotation of blinking punctuation.

Alas, my preferred poetry involve rhymes (I like your Navi's Message: no real rhyme scheme, but who cares?) but this still worked very well. Poems that don't rhyme should have short line lengths. More punch for less words, and all that.

Maybe, if you feel like it, you could break the poem after 'Once more'? It works as well as it does right now, but let those words echo in the readers minds for a while before they move onto the next poem.

You know, I truly believe poetry is created by bursts of unreasoned inspiration. Hey, since you seem pretty good at it, for Saria's Last Song, write some lyrics! Tribute to you, and less pressure on me. You don't know how much I'd appreciate that.

And to finalise this review, how convenient we share common interests. FF7, Saria and Link involved stories... to my longlasting and ever dedicated reviewer, I thank thee. And add extra stuff to this review - more words, the better.

With regards.

*sniffle* thats so...*choke* sweet..*sniff*

its one of my fave scenes too, after that is right after they defeat ganon and before they fight monster ganon...
