The Greatest Tradgedy

PreviousNext

Slender figure,
Clad in white.
Staring up at,
Pure moonlight.
Locked in a,
Divine Embrace.
Everlasting,
Poise and grace.
He died for her,
She died for him.
He catered to her,
Every whim.
How could she live,
Without him near?
How could she cope?
She led him here.
They never wanted,
It to be so.
Juliet, and,
Romeo.

Just wanted to say that the first thing that jumped out at me was the formatting of the poem - you know how you begin the poem with 'slender figure'? Yeah, well, the poem itself is a 'slender figure'!!! That was so clever - even if it was unintentional.

However, I didn't feel the few-word lines worked for me. Not enough detail, I think. This is a poem about Romeo and Juliet, right? I'd suggest actually going and reading Shakespeare's play if you have not done so already - get carried away with your imagination! Use some wordplay, similes, metaphors - the 'slender figure/clad in white/staring up at/pure moonlight' does nothing for me; spice it up a bit more.

The rhyme was interesting, but I feel it could have been pulled off better. I am a fan of internal rhyme myself - but if you want a really apparent rhyme, the best way to make it work is to figure out your rhythm first - imabic is usually a safe way to start off :D.

Hello,and I hope you've had a nice day and/or evening. This is a really good person for someone your age.

Your grammar and vocabulary is truly amazing, and the fact that it is Romeo and Juliet is a nice bonus as well.
