A Love Poem of Sorts

**A guy wrote this for me after we had been going out for about three months. I really like it, but he wants more opinions than just mine.**


Love came, and brought sorrow
Too soon in her train
Yet so sweet, that tomorrow
It was welcomed again

Those who call it dishonor
To bow to her flame
If their eyes looked upon her
They would blush while they blame

I say all pearls gained whiteness
After her birth
And all violets have gained brightness
As this angel grew on earth

No man for his glory
Can fully say he flies
But that wonderful story
Is told in her brown eyes.

That was so sweet! But, I'm a helpless romantic, so I think everything's sweet. :roll: lol Really, though, he did a great job with this. I can tell how much he likes you. ^_^

Wonderfully done, umm... umm.... Bella's boyfriend. :? Hehe Bye!

That was very sweet, and the imagery was lovely. A few things I think could be improved, if your friend is so inclined:

1. Punctuation. A bit more punctuation would help the flow, and I'd recommend getting rid of the capitals at the beginning of each line and only having them after a full stop, as in prose, because it flows better.

2. The rhythm of the second stanza seems different from the first, so te line breaks etc. might need to be tweaked a bit.

3. "As this angel grew on earth" is out of sync with the rest of the verse. Try trimming it down.

4. I'm not really sure about that last stanza - it seems out of place, though it may be that I don't fully understand it. Either way, clarity would be good, and I think that might come with punctuation :)

Overall, a charming poem.

Cheers,

aw! i am such a romantic andd that poem is soo sweet.

it was very well written .. and it def shows how much he cares about you, especially when he wrote that you were an angel on earth, and that he could see himself in your brown eyes or suchh.

I think it was all right.
There is a spelling mistake over here

Love came, and brought sorrow
Too soon in her train
Yet so sweet, tht tomorrow
It was welcomed again


Say he did good, but I want to know, who did the breaking up?

Heh, Pros (Ivan? Oo) liked it. ^_~ That's a good sign.

And I liked it too! The only thing I can really suggest is that he punctuates it, that would help it a lot.

I say all pearls gained whiteness
After her birth
And all violets have gained brightness
As this angel grew on earth
Like Ivan said, you could fix up whiteness/brightness. What if it was, "I say all pearls became white..."/"And all violets became bright..." The "ness" on the end of each word clogs up reading.

Otherwise, very beautiful. I wish someone had written me such a lovely poem! Compliments, to the lucky boy.

It's very good, although I haven't much experience in love poems.

Love came, and brought sorrow

Fix up that.


The ABAB rhyme scheme is good, but it gets odd when read in the third stanza. change whiteness and brightness so that they don't have the same ending.


Other then that, I thought the poem was very well done.

The simple truth is that authors like making people squirm. If this weren't the case, all novels would be filled completely with cute bunnies having birthday parties.
