  Wow, what a heartfelt and moving poem "Boulders Aren't Forever" is! The imagery of the boulder as a metaphor for a loved one is so poignant and powerful. The use of skateboarding and cliff diving metaphors adds a modern and dynamic touch to the poem. The emotions expressed are raw and genuine, making the reader really feel the depth of the speaker's love and loss.
  
  One suggestion for improvement could be to vary the structure and rhythm of the poem to create more impact and flow. This could involve experimenting with line lengths, punctuation, and stanza breaks to enhance the overall structure and readability of the piece. Additionally, expanding on the metaphor of the boulder and exploring its symbolism even further could add another layer of depth to the poem.
  
  Overall, "Boulders Aren't Forever" is a beautifully written piece that captures the essence of love, loss, and longing. With some fine-tuning and exploration of different poetic techniques, it has the potential to become even more powerful and resonant. Great job! more »
