So I was thinking about my other poem, The End, and reading poetry on the site and this kind of floated into my head with no real effort from me whatsoever, convenient.

Perfect Sin
By: Rory Legend

He led to deceive,
and deceive he did.
For everything I believed,
I gave up for him.

Breathing in,
and breathing out,
he offered sweet freedom
he portrayed no doubt.

The steps went wrong.
The music turned sour.
Yet he still smiled,
and I believed in his power.

That smile which played
across his face;
was gone so sudden,
with out a trace.

A bed of lies,
was all it took.
One night to try,
one night to look.

It's what I want,
It's what I've been.
It's all I need,
the perfect sin.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

please tell me what you think!

This was interesting and original. Mostly I'd just go over the punctuation and grammatical stuff.
You misspelled 'deceive'.
But I didn't really get it, I have to admit. Much as I liked it, I had a hard time understanding what it was really about and what emotion you were trying to bring through. You should probably work that out.
I think that's about it. Just, again, go over your punctuation again.

Keep writing!

Hi I am SCL or SimonCowellLuver. I am here to say your poem is very good I love it but I saw some grammatical errors so i am going to help fix them ok.

He led to decieve (you need a comma here)
and decieve he did.
For everything I believed,
I gave up for him.

Breathing in ( you need a comma here)
and breathing out,
he offered sweet freedom
he portrayed no doubt ( you need a period here)

Well That is all i have to critique for today. Have a good day. If you have any questions feel free to PM me anytime.

Another very good poem.

To repeat those above you do have a few spelling errors and grammatical problems. Other than that the poem was extremely well written.

Stanzas 2 and 6 are my favorite. They hold such strength and demonstrate your great writing abilities.
“Some people are like Slinkies: not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.”

Please review War of the Willow - Prologue

Ah! Quite grand!

I love your topic (isn't the devil fun to work with ^-^); it can be a tough subject because it can get cliche really easily, but you totally rocked it! Great word choice too!

I really liked these lines. It's very visual.

It's what I want,
It's what I've been.
It's all I need,
the perfect sin.


I believe this is an example of some incredible word choice!

Not only do I like this concept, but I really liked your word choice. I fully understand this. And like nightfall said, this can be pretty tough, but you pulled it off gracefully in a unique and powerful way.
Gold star for you! :D

thanks to everyone for the crits, I'm glad most of you liked it! It is only like the second poem I have written.
