Our Field

Our field:
Past the tall grass
and through the field,
two lovers lie
and never yield.
In the sun's warmth
The lovers kiss,
With true passion
And magic bliss.
-
And through their day their loving grows,
They do what they couldn't before.
The kisses stop only for breaths
Their lips longing for more.
Everlasting glory of love,
Their lives together will start here.
And the daybreak of tomorrow, 
Is the ending that they both fear.

and never yield.
In the sun's warmth
The lovers kiss,
With true passion
And magic bliss.


I really love this, it flows really well, apart from the last line, I think you should say magical, I don’t know, you just need another syllable there.

And through their day their loving grows, #FF0000 ">< I’d say ‘the day, repeating ‘their’ doesn’t feel right to me.
They do what they couldn't before. #FF0000 ">< I’d say ‘couldn’t do before’, it would make it feel better, it just needs another syllable in my opinion.
The kisses stop only for breaths
Their lips longing for more. #FF0000 ">< I’d say lips are longing for more, I think it would flow better.
Everlasting glory of love, #FF0000 "><I’d say 'The everlasting glory...'
Their lives together will start here. #FF0000 "><I’d say 'their life together starts here.' There are too many syllables.
And the daybreak of tomorrow,
Is the ending that they both fear. #FF0000 "><I think this is brilliant.


So, I don’t think this stanza flows as well as the first one, but with a couple of alterations, it could. But it’s just my opinion, don’t feel obliged to follow my advice. I think it’s all wonderful, your rhyming doesn’t feel at all forced, and it actually feels original, which is odd for most love poems these days! I hope this was useful! Let me know if you ever need another review.

Hey, I love this poem but there is just one thing that doesnt seem quite right and it is this line

And the daybreak of tomorrow,
Is the ending that they both fear.


You dont need the and.
I think it would read much better as -
The daybreak of tomorrow,
Is the ending they both fear.

Otherwise I love it. In fact I love all your work. Keep writing!!

Hi, I agree with Forest. This just flows, not like some other poems who's words seem forced and thought over.
It seems to me as if you just let your emotions flow through your pencil-or fingers- onto the page-or computer screen-. This was lovely, my friend. An enjoyable read. I hope to see more from you in a later time.

Big kiss, class dismissed!

Hi! This was really great! I was just kind of thinking about stuff like this, you know, a certain tree, a pond, or in this case a field. Your rhyming was really good, and it wasn't a poem that FORCED rhyme, so it was good! Plus, you really showed a lot of emotion about how the lover's feel, and you described the field just enough. Great job!
