If You Saw the World How I Do,
you would see that a
single ice crystal, fallen from the sky,
is a world on which I live upon.
It melts and freezes below me,
sweeping my soul away.

If you lived how I live,
you would realize I’m not perfect,
and whisk away to islands of
humbleness and joy.

If you hurt how I hurt,
you would hold your hand,
as I do.
Pray to one day float back to heaven,
from where you surely came.

If you loved how I love,
you would see all the
amazing things that make you up.
You would see the brilliance of love
itself

If you saw the world how I do,
Would you run away?

If you hurt how I hurt,

as I do. This break-up is a bit weird- maybe put 'as I' on the line before and 'do' on the line after.

If you saw the world how I do, One time it was all caps, but not this time?
Would you run away?


What I liked about it:
-Everything!
-grammar was impeccable
-the topic wasn't cliche
-the first two lines in each especially
-stanza 2


What was okay:
-Nothing I could find for here

What wasn't so hot:
-Hm... this is a hard one... the formatting. Some lines were one-syllable and others were five. Some stanzas were four lines and others were six. Try to pick a particular number- though you don't have to.

I love this so much! Not much else I can say!

Not much to fix! Just work on the punctuation. Good job!

sweet Tinkem here as requested :D
First off, my general impression - I loved it, it was really sweet and... hmm succint :)
I kinda have a problem with the formatting, so below is the way I would change it and any nit-picks.



Boolovesyou wrote:If You Saw the World How I Do, I realise this is the title line, but as it is part of the actual verse, it doesn't need capital letters.
you would see that a single ice crystal,
fallen from the sky,
is a world on which I live upon. You got a double type thing going on here, on and upon in the same line, scratch the 'on'

If you lived how I live,
you would realize I’m not perfect,
and whisk away to islands,

If you hurt how I hurt,
you would hold your hand, I'm not to sure on this line, you would hold your own hand?as I do.

If you loved how I love,

I <3 this ending :P

Unlike the other comments I have read I did not love this poem. I thought it was okay, but the emotion,to me, in the poem was a bit lacking. It seemed as though you tried, but failed. There's that and the formatting problems I have seen. Others have already fixed that. Anyway:

If you lived how I live,
you would realize I’m not perfect,
and whisk away to islands of
humbleness and joy.


That part makes no sense. It doesn't flow and it's somewhat vague.

Overall this was just an okay poem. To make this a better poem you have to revise it a lot.
