There she is
His golden girl
The one, my crush is holding
She twists her hair
and lets him know
she's got no better place to go.
He pulls her up
and tells her straight
it can't go on between them.
She looks at him and shakes her head
and tells him -their love's never dead.
He walks away without a glance
Goodbye to Misses fancy pants!
He walks my way
I hang my head
to hide my joyous grin
When I realize his hands in mine
And suddenly i'm lost in time.
He's kissing me
no better place
then in his arms,
his warm embrace
My mind-its in a whirl
Its screaming loudly
GOLDEN GIRL!

she's got no better place to go. 'Go' was in the first line and now it bothers me here because it was repeated. Especially because it was repeated for a rhyme.
He pulls her up,
and tells her straight.
I
t can't go on between them.
She looks at him and shakes her head
and tells him no,loves never dead. This line was slightly awkward to me. I think it would be better, our loves or their loves. Because who thinks love is never dead?


O.K., all this poem made me feel is that the girl who the guy likes now is really mean. The girl who used to have the guy is nice. It probably isn't what you were going for. I just wish that the narrator would have some thought for the girl. Because of this I want background information why does the narrator hate the "golden girl" so much? What is so bad about her? You didn't really show us if the golden girl was bad or not. Was she enticing or lying?

Besides for that I really like this poem and really can't help you.

Here to review as requested! To start, nitpicks.

There she goes,
The golden girl,
The one, my lover's holding. How is the MC's lover holding the golden girl if "there she goes"? And if he's with the golden girl, then how is he the MC's lover?
She twists her hair
and lets him know
she's got no better place to go.
He pulls her up
and tells her straight
it can't go on between them.
She looks at him and shakes her head
and tells him no,-space here-loves never dead. You can either put this in quotes (because she's saying it) or you can just capitalize the N of "no."
He walks away without a glance.
Goodbye to Misses Fancy Pants! Misses should be either Miss or Mrs. or Missus.
He walks my way;
I hang my head
to hide my smiling face.
I realize his hands in mine
And suddenly I'm lost in time.
He's kissing me
no better world. I don't get what you're trying to say here.
Now lets see who's golden girl!


This has a pretty good flow, but the punctuation was inconsistent. It wasn't only that you chose not to use it (which is okay in and of itself). It was that you used it sometimes, but not always, which came across as sloppy. Also, at first the whole lover and golden girl thing was confusing. Actually, it still is. Why was the lover with the golden girl if he was really with the MC? Or were the lover and the MC together, or what? It just doesn't make that much sense.

But, overall, a nice piece. Keep writing.

Hello again Kakagirl. This was AWESOME, needless to say. Anyway, the rhyming was amazing and I could grasp the storyline of the poem instantly. Golden Girl is an awesome phrase. Anywho. I love how you set it out, so its only bout four - six words a line, which makes it unique. better than I could do, any day.
Keep writing!

They don't even know you
All they see is scars
They don't see the angel
Living in your heart
Let them find the real you
Buried deep within
Let them know with all you've got that you are not your skin

I love this, its structure and rhythm is fantastic and kept me reading to the end.
Plus believe me when I say you have written what I have imagined happening many a time, perhaps one day it actually will. Ah well.
But... Carrying on with the review, I found this a really strong piece but i do think maybe a slight bit more descriptive imagery would help strengthen it.

Heheh. I didn't quite understand the title until I reached the end of the poem - I like what you did, taking on the phrase "I feel golden" and incorporating it into your writing. Definitely brought a smile. My only suggestion would be to add a bit more descriptive words and imagery, some punctuation, and to break up the poem into a couple stanzas. Again, they're just suggestions... whether you want to consider them is your choice since it's your writing. :) Good work.
