Deep, deep, deep inside,
I feel a beat I try to hide.
It takes over me.
Catch me a white dove,
one glance and I fell in love.
Haunted I will be.
The sun is bright,
the moon is full.
My heart is longing,
to feel your pull.
A tiny thud,
A lifeless beat.
Counting to when,
it falls asleep.
Weak, it calls out.
Shallow, it cries.
I look into,
his brilliant blue eyes.
Can you hear it?
That sound so weak?
Can you hear
that lifeless beat?

Let me first say that poetry in its most basic definiton is any writing that evokes a deep emotional response within the reader, and as far as that is concerned, you have done quite well. I was very impressed in how you got the reader interested in the very first stanza, which is a difficult feat at best in terms of poetry. Wording is above average, no doubt, but still work on it and perfect it.
The most prominent problem I saw was lack of a preconventionalized meter system. Now, this is an art that few can even understand, but I can tell you have a handle on it. Just watch your syllable count and keep track of your accents and unaccents so that it flows more naturally. Also, try using longer stanzas, as anything under a quatrain is usually awkward to read. With your rhyme scheme, I would suggest trying sonnets or ottava rima.
In all, your poetry is amazing and fun to read. Just work on your rhythm scheme and stanza length and you should be fine.
Hi LukanRinta, I liked your poem! It was very heart filled and packed with emotion but it that made it even better. It is a good length for a poem. Not too long but maybe slightly so short.
Otherwise it was very good!! There are really no flaws that someone else did not pick out already.
Thanx,

This was a nice piece, but I think it could be improved in several ways: the rhythm was a bit off in the first half of the piece, as the last reviewer pointed out. I would also try to change your word choice to make it a bit more interesting (not meaning that the piece wasn't interesting, but that the words could be more varied). It would allow a larger depth in your piece. It might also be helpful to try incorporating some more imagery into your piece. It allows the reader to visualize what's going on, and join the writing on a deeper level, as they experience the emotions you talk about. These are, of course, my simple opinions.. one person, who isn't the writer of this piece.
Overall, nice piece.
