Hiya pomp!
These were some pretty great lyrics. I could also hear a little song playing in my head, so that means that the rhythm is good enough for me not to comment on.
I think these lyrics have the best characteristic of your poems: delicious images. You have so many lovely words here that work together to convey your point of reaching out to others. I wish, however that the images weren't so spread out and diverse. I mean like, I wish there was a little bit of a story line to go along with the song. You know what I mean? But honestly that's not necessary. I'd love to hear music with this. I'd be it would be awesome.
Um, watch out for cliches in this. A lot of the things you said, while positive, have been said many times before, so it almost sounds empty. I'll leave it to you do decide what you think fits that criteria.
Okay I said I wouldn't mention rhythm but oh well. There's a couple places where the rhythm feels off to me, and I don't know if you have a song already picked out for this, or whatever, but I know that lyrics are easier to put to music when you have a consistent rhythm, so then you can play the same thing over and over and not worry about being tricky with the musical aspect of it.
I really like the way you started this, and then you ended it with the same lines. I like the calling everyone a vine thing, but I wish it was developed a little more. I suppose this goes with my wanting for a sort of story line.
Anyway, this is pretty good! I hope my review helped you even just a little bit ^^
if you have any questions about what worked and what didn't feel free to ask me. I'm full of opinions that I don't always share because sometimes I feel like they're obvious.
Keep writing, Pompledore!
