 |
|
Why can’t we spend sentimental summers,
Surfing and smiling and enjoying life?
Lying in the sand, the sea running through our fingers,
And the strum, strum, strumming of your guitar.
My heart beats like the drum in your band.
And it would be faster if we could only be more,
Than just great friends.
But its like we’re playing poker, and I don’t know how to play.
And everybody’s cheating, but I don’t know what to say.
And I look at my cards, but I don’t know…
Who makes the first move? |

| This seems a little short. I think you've got some nice images, but it could be better if you took some more time to explain exactly what you're saying... |

| Cliche, on the short line in the middle should be changed. Too simple and not subtle enough. Some nice images but need to be expanded upon. |

I didn't really think it was that great, but it could be with some work.

Ok, I liked that. That was really neat and really caught your attention on the first line. A very good trait

I liked the first line, but the rest was a little strange. The comparison to the strumming of a guitar really didn't touch me or make sense.

The first two lines were interesting and caught your attention especially with that little rhyme, but the ending was definitely not as powerful as it could have been. I think this could be good, but it really didn't move me. |
