My Happy Place

Nothing to do
Nothing to see
Anywhere else
I'd rather be

I watch the clock
Passing time
tick-tock, tick-tock
Making chimes

A lulling sound
So it seems
Safe and sound
Into dreams:

Something to do
Something to see
I found the place
I want to be

A peachy light
A light breeze
Breaches the night
Rustling leaves, or

A light blue sky
Not a cloud in sight
Makes me want to fly
Until I can touch light

Rolling green hills
Sprouting new trees
Clear water stills
Fluffy little bees

Where you can be
Where you can see
Where people live
In harmony

I search each day
I look all night
Perhaps one day
I'll be saved from my plight

But so far
I've yet to find
My happy place.

Hello there, Sparkle! My name's Rosie, and I'm here to review this!

Overall, this is a cute piece. It's rather too simple for my liking, though. I've read dozens of poems that resemble this one, and that's never a good thing. There always has to be something that sets your work apart from everyone else's; whether that element is prominent or mediocre isn't as important, but it still has to exist. I read this, and I couldn't find anything special. So, in further works, I'd consider thinking about how to make your work unique. I'm sure you're a unique person (most writers I know are), so all you need to do is find a way to reflect that uniqueness in your work, and you'll be all set.

I do adore one part of this, though, the stanza with the little detail about the "peachy light." It had a wonderfully calming flow to it, and I wish the entire poem was more like it. Great job there.

All in all, cute piece! I'm looking forward to reading more from you. Always keep writing!

Best wishes,

Rosie

Sorry, I didn't mean to put this up. It was my first time posting.



Nouns can verb very well actually, they verb better than some verbs do.
