Show Me

In Poetry

Take me down where the poppies grow,

And jolly people sing all day long.

Teach me to be happy and to let go;

Oh, teach me a nobler, sweeter song.

Bring me back to my pleasant childhood,

When I never worried about tomorrow.

May I never again be in this sort of mood--

A long suffering one of endless sorrow.

Break the chain that keeps me caged,

And the lock that holds my heart.

I want to again smell the wondrous sage;

I want to be given a fresh and new start.

Take me to the open fields where I can rest;

Show me the joy of being here at your side.

Help me remember that I've been blessed

To be your one and only bride.

Heya, Keepwriting!!

Eros here to review your wonderful poetry!

First thing which comes, is the title. The title is catchy, "Show me". It is related with the poem.
Everything is described very beautifully. I am captivated by the picture which you used. It is romantic. That was like a glow on your spicy work. I love this.

The poem was, indeed unique in itself. The choice of words were also too good. The presentation is awesome! It was a short poem full of feelings. The idea was also very influencive. I am deeply impressed by this poem. I like how you ask for the childhood to return and ask to show you that special joy.

Everything was described very nicely. It was all the desires, which you put beautifully in the form of a poem. The poem flowed well. It is well connected with the picture too.

It was a GREAT work, overall!
Keepwriting...
Never cease...
Because we all love to keep reading such superb works like this one!
Have a Great Day/ Night!
:D

Hello! Tigerlilly here to review!

First off, this poem is very very beautiful. I love how the picture connects so perfectly with the poem, having it helps give the feel of the poem. It almost feels like a song itself and the flow is just perfect. It's so emotional... At the very end in the last four stanzas I get the feeling of longing and a subtle sorrow. You can tell the narrator is in a worried/depressive state because of how she refers to childhood and wanting to "remember that I've been blessed" and it just pulls at my heart strings.

I really wish I could find something to nitpick on, but I feel like everything is in it's perfect place and I don't want you to change it. I like the capitalization in this poem and the punctuation seems to be on point. So, I'm sorry for not finding anything wrong! You're just too talented! Please keep writing, I look forward to reading more from you! :D

Thank you. <3

Amazing poem..!! A very heart catching poem. The punctuation is really good and capitalization is also good. The way you have expressed your emotions and the way you have demanded again for your childhood is incredible. This poem has really impressed me. Good job and keep writing like this. Your writing is fantastic. The lines, the words clearly show what is in your heart and mind :) Well done pal.
