I like the metaphor this brings out, of a person, an angel, that is being insulted, but the character this is based on loves the angel. I love the lines:

No, perhaps they aren't the pure white
That you long for...

Please, spread them...Angel.

aghhhh


AGHHHHH

NUUU

AGHHHHHHHHH

If I could describe your poem with one word it would be: Beautiful. You are more than an author... you are an artist painting a picture with words you have written, and you could not have painted a more beautiful picture. So, thank you for a picture that is indescribably stunning. Now, how about I go more in depth with this poem.

I honestly love the idea. While it is used a lot I think that you gave it your own personal touch that really made it pop. You didn't make "your angel" stereotypical. You made her real. I think that a lot of poem's nowadays lack a raw truthful emotion, but I think you nailed it.

This love that this angel receives is because of hate she received before. I think that this particular part of the poem reflects on bullying in today's society, if I am wrong, I'm so sorry, but that is what I see. Personally having a friend who went through some extreme bullying this poem hits home. I often say to my friend that I love them and nothing that they do or what other people say will change that. It can be hard to hear the rejection in their saying the don't believe me, but just like our poem's main character I didn't give. Now, the bullying that my friend received has dramatically slowed down, and now my friend is learning to soar again.

I love the overall meaning of this poem and all the little details and mini stories found throughout the poem. You know what's up! You have so much potential! If no one has ever told you, I'm telling you now, you have major talent that you should keep using and showing to the world! This can impact people, just like this one did to me!

Keep writing bro.

Lau here for a review!
Yes! Yes! Yes! I loved this! It was perfect. I'm writting one about an angel too. There is a little past tense thing that wonderwoman said, but that is it. If you ask me.
" They are magnificent. 
Please, spread them...Angel. 
Spread your wings,

And fly. "
Again, perfect. It made the big finish a big finish!

Hello Tigerlilly37, Wonder here. I thought this poem was very elegant and lovely. You really made the reader (me) feel like you really loved your "dear angel". I think the placing was pretty and I love that you kept to capitalizing the first word of every stanza. Let's get down to criticism.

1st: My sweet dear Angel...

In my mind I changed this to: My dear sweet Angel...
Maybe that was just cause I hadn't heard anything placed that way.

2nd: How could you have fallen?
Fallen,
For all those stupid things they say?

Notice how you have this in the past tense. You need to change 'say' to 'said'.

3rd:

Please spread them, Angel.
Spread your wings,

And fly.

This was pretty at the end but maybe place it like this?:

Please, spread them...Angel.
Spread your wings,
...And fly.

I thought the prettiest part of this poem was:

Let me save you tonight.
Then, spread your beautiful wings.
No, perhaps they aren't the pure white
That you long for...
But to me,
They are magnificent.

Anyway keep writing and NEVER get discouraged!
