Alrighty, I'll take a crack at this...

I don't like how the second line sounds. World seems wonderful... I don't think wonderful is a good adjective. It sounds pretty weird if you ask me.

When I have a bad day
you make my heart flutter
like there are butterflies
trying to escape.
This stanza was so cute! I love it.

When you hold me close,
I feel as if nothing,
could break through
your strong shield,
protecting me.
How strong is this shield? How long has it been around? How does it feel? Where is it located?

You love me
like nobody else
ever has,
and when you speak
it's as if there
is nobody else in the world.

You're my beautiful light.
My belle lumière.
Gorgeous ending!

When you walk through the door

my world seems wonderful.



When I have a bad day

your beauty--- this stops the flow of things

makes my heart flutter

like there are butterflies

trying to escape.



When you hold me close,

I feel as if nothing--- need a comma

could break through

your strong shield ----comma

protecting me.



You love me

like nobady else-------- nobody

ever has,

and when you speak

it is as if there ---- try its

is nobody else in the world.



You are my beautiful light.----- try you're instead of you are

My belle lumière.--- i like how you said the same thing but in french


over all i liked this poem and i haven't much to say after the other indepth crit above me

you are my beautiful light
my belle lumiere

I think this does have potential =] Here's my critique :

These two stanzas are wonderful, I love them! The simplicity of the language actually makes it more powerful.

When you hold me close,
i feel as if nothing capital I
could breakthrough break through - should be two words
your strong shield
protecting me.

This seems a little too disjointed for me - especially seeing as the theme of the poem is security and safety.

You don't spoil me,
Hurt me,
Hate me, hurt and hate shouldn't start with caps
or take me or granted. or -> for

I'm not sure about this stanza, I think you should change this one a little bit. It just doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the poem, the list of things that are bad is really unecessary, I got the impression already from the rest of it that he/she wouldn't do these things.

You are my beautiful light.
My belle lumière.

I like this though =] back to as good as the first two lines. Lovely.
