The cotton blossoms floated down
Upon the crescent of my crown,
Kissed the memories of springs past
And faded across skies that won’t last
Carried on the winds of time
Drowning out the distant hymn
Gracefully drifting on stalks of green
It whispers playfully of what it’s seen
The innocent powder of sweet snow
Bares a burden only I know
In masks the stench of my latest crime,
And leaves reminders for me to find
Upon the crescent of my crown,
Kissed the memories of springs past
And faded across skies that won’t last
Carried on the winds of time
Drowning out the distant hymn
Gracefully drifting on stalks of green
It whispers playfully of what it’s seen
The innocent powder of sweet snow
Bares a burden only I know
In masks the stench of my latest crime,
And leaves reminders for me to find

Icarus
Who are you, and what am I?
Remember me? I touched the sky
I flew too hard and burned too fast
Dreams like mine, they just don't last
I touched the sun on feathered limbs
I satisfied my wildest whims
But I burnt out, and I fell down
My body wasn't ever found
But don't remember me for how I failed
I embody all the dreams that've sailed
So who are you, and what am I?
Remember me? I wasn't afraid to fly.

I. Alright guys, you know the drill, choose 5 of your OCs and add a short description below (Even if you know what they look like the people who read it don't! Write it as if you were explaining it to an idiot!). If you don't have 5 OCs then make one up on the spot! Seriously, sometimes the random characters you make are some of the ones you have the most fun with.

II. You (the writer) are walking around a busy part of town, at some point, you end up crossing paths with [Character One], neither of you recognize the other. As the two of you continue on your way, wha

I really liked this, and I was really impressed with the flow and rhyming for the most part. However, these are the two areas where I have some small critique.
The last line in your first stanza does not fit very well. You syllable count is off...one feels to have been wedged in somewhere. The line feels forced, especially the rhyme at the end, probably as a product of this extra syllable. Consider revising into tetrameter.
BTW- Looking back, your iambs are beautiful. Perhaps that's why the line doesn't work, too....not iambic.
The illogical time progression is a nice touch, also. Late spring, summer, winter...I really enjoyed the movement.
My other comment was going to be about time/hymn rhymed pair....but as I've read it a few more times I've decided that I like it a lot. Please don't change it...I've realized that it's really beautiful in it's unpredictability.
