This Body has No Soul

My soul has shred to pieces,
my heart has burned to ashes,
my tears are meaningless,
as they run every single day;
Full of sadness.
My thoughts are only yours.
My body collapses of exhaustion;
I slowly fade away,
As if I have drank a poison.

Since the day you left,
everything I tried to forget,
An order of the mind,
An unaccomplished task by the broken heart.
It was destined to go wrong,
I wasn't strong.
As I fall deeper in despair,
none can be done,
This body has no soul.

I think that was really good.
The flow of it worked and the rhythm
Was pretty good.
The words have meaning to them to. I like that.
I would say right about now what I would change, but there is nothing.
That was really good

Hey Kat. I'm here with revew 2/10 :-)

Should be a period after pieces.

Period after ashes.

My thoughts are only yours.[/qute]

What exactly do you mean by this? Elaborate, please.

*writewatiwant* wrote:My body collapses of exhaustion;


I think there should be a period there instead of a semi colon.

*writewatiwant* wrote:everything I tried to forget,


I tried to forget everything?

Nice ending there.

As you can see, you did very well and I am sorry that I could not be of more help. You're a great poet Kat, you really are. Keep it up ^.^

I don't know about this. I mean, it was very good, it just didn't pull me in right at the beginning. I don't know what I'm saying it was extremely good, I'm just picky and tired so my judgements may be off a little haha. Overall i thought it was really good and you need to keep writing!!!

Hey Write!

This part seems incomplete. You say "since the day you left", but you never really say what is happening or what you are feeling after this person left -- you just start listing "order of the mind", "unaccomplished task" and so forth. You never actually really seem to say what everything you tried to forget, order of the mind, and the unaccomplished task are doing or how they stand in relation to what happened the day he/she left.

Your a bit too punctuation happy. It's almost bothersome to read a comma, period or semi-colon after EVERY single line. Pick up a poem book and sift through the pages -- not every line is punctuated. Try combined sentences and working it out so it's not so strong when the line breaks -- I find it too choppy when there's so much punctuation in a poem.

The poem is very passionate and has strong language, which is amazing. I think if you edit, you can channel something really great here! I hope my comments were helpful.

PM me about anything, dear!

I agree with Blondie05998 or somethin like that. IT was really good and i like the flow of the words. I just wanna know what gave you a reason to write this, what was your purpose? Nice JOB!!!



Besides, if you want perfection, write a haiku. Anything longer is bound to have some passages that don't work as well as they might.
