My Love

Hello Hello, I hope you don't mind me popping in with a quick review. I will apologize that this might be a short review. On top of this, I won't be providing any feedback since it is so old. I feel it is unfair since your style now will likely not resemble the one in this piece.

Overall I enjoyed this piece it was short but engaging to read. I feel this poem has a relatable meaning not only in terms of platonic or romantic relationships but also as a writer. We often put pieces into the world, knowing it holds bits of our hearts. Of course, we fear we might get hurt but seeing others enjoy it makes us super happy knowing that part of us has found others with similar feelings. ( Or at least I feel like that! )

Regardless I hope wherever you are doing now you are living life to its fullest. If you see this drink water and keep writing!

Hey there... It's painful to read this. I relate to this, I really do and it's also painful to see that around the time you were as young as I am, things were the same. I'm really sorry.

To me, this poem was the fear of rejection, of dismissal, and of negligence. It is deep, I won't deny. It's short but prompt. It's not too complicated, rather straightforward but hits the same as poetry buried deep within a metaphoric realm.

I can't comment too much, although I would suggest removing all the periods(full stops) after each line as it's an abrupt and unsettling pause. Without them, it should flow really well.

That will be all. As I said, I don't have too much to critique. I really loved this poem and it was comforting to know that a totally different generation went through the same things as I did and went through the same thought processes. I hope you're still expressing your thoughts in such a beautiful form and are happy where you are.

I wish you peace of mind as I conclude this review.

Lots of love,
Myth

Wesh! Jade here to review your poem. It's old but I found it somehow... Ok, let's go.

These are my feelings.
That is my answer.
Please no harsh dealings.
Don't spear like a lancer.

I like the rhyme scheme, it's a fast tempo with a good syllable count. maybe Don't spear me like a lancer sounds better than don't spear like a lancer.

You should have a stanza between the two verses, but that's just my personal suggestion. It is optional!!

I have my heart for you.
I trust you above all.
No more will I be blue.
Don't let me fall.

Do not let me fall sounds more scared-like. I think that's what you're going for in this poem, right??

OVERALL: I think this was really good an I appreciated the raw honesty and slight metaphors it has. Great work!

Hey there. I'm doing a sweep of pieces of poetry that never got proper reviews for celebrating the #RevMo season.

I appreciate short and sweet poems and the wording is particularly interesting here. The fourth line is interesting in word choice but then it comes off sounding weird to me? It might just be how the word sounds out of place in comparison to commonly used words. I feel like the poem is depending on the lines sounding uniform and then this quick switch, just creates a tension in the air.

The ending line is rather cliche but the the entirety of the poem is as well. As a poetry mod, I've read so much romantic centric poetry so I don't have that much of a gauge for how it's used anymore. it does seem like you're embracing some of the dramatic side that comes with the issue, making the poem digestible to the reader. As a reader, I'm certainly feeling the emotion behind this piece.

The one other thing really bothering me is the imagery or the more the lack of it. It starts out rather mildly and you do make a few attempts at making the scene colorful, by directly including a color as an emotion. That's just not doing it for the poem though so I would recommend adding a bit more vividness to the descriptions.
Considering the subject matter, should be pretty easy.

Happy RevMo.

Hey!
This is a direct simple and direct poem. Maybe if it was just a bit longer you would have managed to describe your passionate feelings to make the poem more intense. If I were you I would decorate this poem with more smoothing words and include similes to make it more flowing.

Nevertheless it is a great poem.

KEEP IT UP!!!!

I think this poem was really heartfelt and moving. The only critique I have is make it longer. This poem could be so much longer and a lot more enjoyable if there was more to it. Another thing is the line "Don't spear like a lancer." I think it would sound better if you changed it to "Don't spear like a lance". Otherwise, that's it. Amazing work.

Hmm...interesting poem....however, I think the following should be changed:

"No more will I be blue."

to

"No longer I'll be blue."

Same thing everyone above me already said, and my congrats on writing a great poem!

Thanks guys I was thinking the same but just couldnt get it!!

I really enjoyed this poem - my only major criticism is that its too short! LOL But the ending is well done, very sharp and pointed - kind of like a lance hehe.

"These are my feelings.
That is my answer.
Please no harsh dealings.
Don't spear like a lancer."

I like the first two lines of this stanza - they are confusing, but intentionally so, and I like the way you get straight to the point (God, sorry, I dont know where all these puns are coming from). The third and forth lines feel a bit contrived though...I particularly didnt like lancer, it just didnt seem to fit, although I understand how needing a rhyme can make a poet desperate LOL. I'd change those two though - keep the ideas, just the words dont work.

"I have my heart for you.
I trust you above all.
No more will I be blue.
Don't let me fall."

I agree with Nate, "have" should be "hold" - it makes more sense. Other than that, I really like this stanza though. Particularly the end, as I already pointed out (ack, there I go again). I like the whole sentiment behind the poem, I can really relate to going out on a limb so to speak and hoping someone will hold you up...Good job.

I thought this was pretty good. However, you might consider changing "have" in the fifth line to "hold" and rearranging the seventh line to "No more blue I will be" to give it a more poetic tilt to it.

Overall, you have a good rhythym going here that stays fairly consistent throughout and the rhyming itself seems natural. Very nice job.
