That was extremely sweet, and well written. :)
Your angelic, soft hair,
and your shimmering brown eyes.
Your sweet voice, flowing in the air,
was what made me realize;

There's more to tears than sadness,
and there's more to life than death. (This is my favorite part of the poem. There's something that just withholds so much truth about it.)
So don't cry, darling, that's madness.
Just let me hold you while you rest.

Feel the warmth of a timeless love
from these arms, as gentle as a dove.
Now lay your head upon my chest,
as whispering dreams, flow at their best.


The words flowed together very well. There wasn't really any awkward sentences, which is good. It was very emotion-filled, and came ff as not only sweet and adorable, but deep, as well. :)

I truly love it. You have a good sense of rhythm and rhyming. I love it, it sounds like a good lullaby.

At times it flowed nicely, but most of it felt like you were trying to cram/force lines together just to make the rhyme. However, the last stanza doesn't match the rhyme scheme of the rest of the poem; don't know if you were just trying to emphasize it or got impatient with finishing the piece. Anyway, it was evident in the beginning that you find her beautiful. In essence, I found the idea opf the poem cute. Lucky girl. (:

Hello! ^_^

Nitpicks:

There's more to tears than sadness,
and there's more to life than death.

- Cliché. But it doesn't matter 'cause it works here! :D

So don't cry, darling, that's madness.
Just let me hold you while you rest.

- I love how you rhymed 'madness' and 'rest' with 'sadness'. :)

Now lay your head upon my chest,
as whispering dreams, flow at their best.

- I think there shouldn't be a comma after 'dreams' because it separates 'dreams' from 'flow' which, as we can see, directly follows the noun 'dreams'. Although it may sound better when you pause there, we can still pause there without the comma. :) It's a poem after all.

This is a really nice poem. :) I think it's really sweet. The title makes me curious (like everyone else perhaps) who Morgan is. XD *checks your info* Ooh! Who's Morgan?? XD Also, the title, specifically the word 'Lullaby' makes me want to put some notes to it, hehe. Anyway, I love how you worded this poem. The words, apparently, are what made this poem really sweet. I like the simplicity of it too. It sounds honest. :)

Never stop writing. :)

Hey Matt... Welcome to YWS!!! You'll love it here...:)
I really liked your poem... The only thing which I felt wrong was the size... I would have liked it more if it would have been longer because then you would have been able to express more feelings. Otherwise considering the length you have done a great job.:)
Keep writing:)

I find this really sweet. It made me go awww inside. I really enjoyed. By the way, the start of a new line in a poem, whatever the word, usually starts with a capital letter. :!:
Overwise, I really liked it. So well done!

Your angelic, soft hair,Good good, except soft doesn't quite go with angelic
and your shimmering brown eyes. Does brown really shimer?
Your sweet voice, flowing in the air,
was what made me realize; This flows a bit akward from the last line
There's more to tears than sadness,
and there's more to life than death.I really liked this combo of sadness and death
So don't cry, darling, that's madness. Akward rhythm to this line. Try " darling because that's madness"
Just let me hold you while you rest. Is this part of the last stanza? It doesn't flow with it so it doesn't make sense
Feel the warmth of a timeless love
from these arms, as gentle as a dove. So why did you go to AABB rhyme here? It was ABAB before?
Now lay your head upon my chest,
as whispering dreams flow at their best.


Good job. Overall, this was pretty good. A few minor flaws, but there is a good reason why this was featured.
