The girl's crush

by umaima


At first I thought I was lost
Scratching my head I had thought,
On a beautiful evening
When I ate the cake I had bought

I looked at him again
Making sure it wasn’t true,
But then I realized
I was lost in the blue

He was hot
And I was dumb
He stood up
And I went numb

Did he see me staring?
I thought
I wouldn’t do anything stupid
I ought

He came forward,
Towards me
And then suddenly
Bent to his knee

Then I realized
He was the same guy
Whom last week
I had wanted to try

He had been my crush
Since last year
And now I could see him
So clear ((or near))

‘Yes, Yes, Yes’
I shouted at him
Without giving him
A chance to say anything

He looked up at me
With his heart stopping smiles
But with so much confusion
In his glowing eyes

‘What?’ He asked
To my surprise
‘I will marry you’
I said in reply

he laughed and said
‘It was an amazing joke’
And picked the ball
Which lied near my book ‘Hope’

‘Can I borrow this’
He said with a charming smile
‘We lost ours
Before a while’

‘great’ I thought
I had been such a fool
‘Yes’ I replied
Which sounded I was cool

With a Thank you
He took the ball
And gave it to his little sis
Who looked like a doll!

Then he returned to me
With his nerve breaking smiles
‘Coffee at 10?’
He asked with a style

I tilted by head
To hide my blush
And said okay
In a rush

Well at least
It didn’t turn that bad
Was the only thing
I could think at last

Even though I
was quite stupid
In the end
I got a signal from my cupid

Thinking this I laughed
Which only made things worse
Thank god he didn’t say anything
Or else I bet-I would have needed my nurse

Because I was sure
I would have fainted
With all the embarrassment
And my nerve's numbness

With my blood red cheeks
I rushed past him
And ran out of the park
Hitting my head on the rim

Today was the day when I realized
‘Everything good in life happens unexpectedly’
Though things didn’t turn out to be how I ought
But guess what- It had been better than I thought

Oh my goodness! I loved this! Especially the 'marry you' part. I swear, I can almost feel the girl's pain! And I like the fact that your character accurately portrays the typical nervousness of all girls being approached by their crush. Plus, the fact that the girl's crush didn't even realize her mistake and ended up asking her out made the poem even better! Awesome job!

Hi, I'll be reviewing your poem today :)

Firstly, I like your topic, it was playful, personal and realistic, it's someting a lot of people can relate with, liking someone the excitment and nervousness etc.. Anyways there are some suggestions I'd like to make for your poem.

I don't usually like rhyming in poems but it works in your poem, it add humour, and flowed for the most part but at times it put your rhythm off, also use the rhyme scheme throughout because in one of your stanzas you don't use it.

There's quite a lot of dialog in your poem maybe use less and show more?
‘LOL’ he said
‘It was an amazing joke’
And picked the ball
Which lied near my book ‘Hope’

Here at the beginning instead of saying "LOL" you could say;
"He laughed and said,
It was an amazing joke...etc

Overall a good poem just some minor things to edit.
Keep writing! :)

-Infinity

Hi there! Noir here, and I'll be your reviewer today. Let's rock.

First up: Concept. The concept for this poem was lovely. It's one of the constant struggles in life, getting crushes to notice you, and this time was no exception. Acting foolish is typically my first way to get attention as well.

Second on this list: Rhythm. I absolutely loved your quartets with the couplets. It made it easy to read and it was very catchy. Good on you there. There were a few places, however, that I noticed didn't fit the style. In the second to last stanza, you broke your form with "Because I was sure
I would have fainted
With all the embarrassment
And my dumbness"
This didn't rhyme, and it kind of broke the flow of the poem and it threw me off at the last minute. I am only pointing this one out, but there are a few others that are iffy.

Finally: Grammar.
"I tilted by head
To hide my blush
And said *okh*
In a rush"
I just wanted to inform you on your typo there. It should be "okay." Other than that little flaw, I noticed nothing wrong.

Overall, this poem was cute and cheerful, which I loved. The rhythm was great, with the exception of a stanza or two. And there were a few nit picks in grammar.

This gets my rating of 7/10. It needs a bit of work, but it's very good.

This has been NoirLumiere, and there' your review. Good night, and keep rocking.

"Because I was sure
I would have fainted
With all the embarrassment
And my nerve's numbness"




This planet has - or rather had - a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much all of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movement of small green pieces of paper, which was odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy.
