I need one

One true love

To guide my way

My way through love

A love so great

It confuses the heart

A heart that loves

Is a heart that falls

Many have tried

Many have failed

So before you love

Remember just this

True love is bliss

Well, I gotta be honest...it seems kind of bland. When I say that, I mean that it doesn't really have a beating heart. And what I mean by that is that the piece just seems really colorless. No real imagery, no real tone, just nothing.

I'm not saying that it's a bad piece. It just needs a bit more of a driving point. Think about taking what emotions you really have about the subject, and let them run rampant. Let those emotions speak for you, instead of just stating what's obvious.

Otherwise, as far as poetry goes, it was decent. Just remember what I said, and you'll be able to improve this piece and make it even better than it is already.

This was an okay poem....You need a little bit more emotion and descriptions in this poem. It doesn't really catch a person's eye. Make it more interesting. I like the shortness, though. Just try to make it more interesting....

Keep writing.

Your poem is good. Its a bit short for the subject of poem, and maybe not colorful, or descriptive enough, but I like it. It has a main idea, the lines all flow nicely, and it's a decent bit of poetry. Oh and I liked the repeat of the word "one" in the begining.
"I need one
One true love"
To me it sounds very....well I'm not sure, but for some odd reason I like it. Overall its a good poem, you just need a bit more detail.

Ok, so before I review this peice I must say that I do like your work. It is catching and interesting but there are a few things that I noticed. Those things were only puncuation, because the way you have it, the poem seems like a run-on sentence.

I added in puncuation marks to breakup the poem in a few ways. They are in bold.

thank you everyone for reviewing my peice and i'm glad some of you like it i will fix all of the grammer mistakes later
punctuation isn't my strongest suit but i think if you can write well then punctuation comes second to writing well but what am i saying good writing is punctuation too. Very Happy
