Untitled Optimist Poem

Guys, this poem was posted on December 29, 2004. Spend review day writing reviews that people are actually going to read. Otherwise, you're just wasting your time.

First off I want to say hello, I don't think I've ever introduced myself, I'm Fortissimo, Ff or Forti for short.

Your poem rocks. I'm a poetry writer, but not confident enough to post my works. Kudos to you(:

Here are my suggestions, enjoy!

Love for sake of love?
Perhaps.
Do not look uponcomma,
my sad and miserable
heart period.
D do not look with pity comma,
for the within the blackness comma,
there holds a bit of
red comma, rose comma, lips period.
E eyes period.
H hair
and breasts,
hips comma,
legs comma,
black skirts comma,
with a scarf.
(it goes with everything.)
Just as pretty comma,
as the day we met.

I Like how you started with a question, it almost sets the mood or tone for the rest of your poem.

Run-on sentences, I think so! At the beginning and end you have punctuation, but none in the middle. Why is that? I would suggest you use punctuation throughout because you definitely need it in the first line.

Lastly, in the middle where you said red rose lips and eyes, it got a little confusing, trying to figure out what you were describing. Please rephrase!

Hey there!

I read your poem and saw a few nit-picks I'd like to get out of the way before actually talking about your poem. Here it is:
Red- Spelling mistakes/ Punctuation
Green- Revision

Love for sake of love?
Perhaps,
Do not look upon my sad and miserable,
Heart,
Do not look with pity,
For the within the blackness,
There holds a bit of,
Red
Rose
Lips and eyes
Hair and breasts,
Hips
Legs
Black skirts
With a scarf,
(it goes with everything,)
Just as pretty
as the day we met,

Hi there!

heart I like the emotion put into these few lines.
do not look with pity put a comma at the end of this line
for the within the blackness
there holds a bit of
red
rose *
lips and eyes * I think you should take the two lines with astrics next to them and put them together. It'll halep the poem to flow better.

with a scarf. Good description here.

Hello! I am here to nitpick your work! anything that has to do with flow or if I add words, its a suggestion for a word change or something like that.
Here are the nitpicks:

this actually made me feel vaguely optimistic after i read it. cheerful poetry is underrated.
