Heya, Prince! I like your name, is it a reference from a book or something? I think I've heard it before!
Anyway, I guess I should say(although I'm a few days late) WELCOME TO THE SITE. How do you like it?
Now- I'll be your reviewer! Casanova at your service my fair prince.
So, first off I have to say I loved this poem for it's content.
But- even with a masterpiece comes the flaws(well, not flaws, just nitpicks! I dun bite.. Too hard!)
Anyway- the first thing I noticed was the lack of punctuation. Four lines have it- the others do not. As a reader I take the lack of punctuation to mean that it's continuous with no pausing, meaning that if it were read aloud I could not breathe nor stop between lines.
Though in some forms of poetry and/or song writing this can be a good thing-- I feel as if your poem should flow at a slow pace. Not meaning that it should slop for all that long- just a second or two before continuing. But that's just my opinion.
The next thing I noticed was the inconsistency in the rhyming.
You start off, in the first four lines, having the same rhyme. I enjoyed that.
But after that you switch to having no rhyme in all at parts- and to me that kind of threw off the flow and the sound of it. I think maybe you should try free verse- without rhyming. That way you can loosen your poem and really get into the subject matter that way you wont be restricted by the restrictions rhyming gives your poem. Don't focus on rhyme and meter- focus on the emotion(which you obviously have plenty of!)
In any case I really enjoyed this and I hope to see more from you!
If you need any hints, tips, have any questions, or just want to talk, don't be afraid to message me!
Sincerely- Matthew Casanova Aaron.
