The Star of My Life

E - Everyone

In Heartfelt poems

She shines my days the fairy she is

Guarding me from every negative ray

And guides my way with her smile

Keeping me joyous every day.

~~~

She is there for me as if she were family

The one who always catches my jokes

Who accepts me as I am and

Always loves me more than other folks.

~~~

One thing I regret is I'm not the only one for her

She has a lot of other mates

I'm envious of her attentions, scared

Of the separation it creates.

~~~

I remember the day when I asked the Lord

Mine isn't enough, I want another sis

No reply- none; I was disappointed

'Cause I wasn't expecting this...

~~~

I got the sister I asked for, in another form

Disguised as a friend

She knows it not, I value her dearly

For me, she is a godsend!

This is a joyful celebration of one who's weirdness matches your own, the recognition of such weirdness being commonly identified as, "love." And nearly as perfect as your joint soul mating dance, but for a missed comma here: "She shines, my days the fairy she is." But think of it as a tiny irrelevant detail, much like a tiny mole decorating your left butt cheek, in no way detracting from your intense, borderline obsessive, (for who but a love crazed maniac would worry about the separation caused by her Bosom's Bestie having other, as weirdly wrote, "mates?)" emotional connection. A "Godsent" emotional connection so deep that, let me assure you, surely does not need this poetic expression or declaration, and knows nothing of time or distance, but, like a sense of longing, only grows stronger with absence. When you are blessed with such a loved gift, don't squander time worrying pointlessly about when it may leave you-enloy every preciously weird moment you have together.

There is a good rhyme scheme to this and also good uses of repetition. There is also good use of form as well with with each stanza having a consistent rhyme scheme and also each stanza has a unique topic to it despite all of the topics being unified under a single theme. Also I like how there is a good combination of literal lines and figurative lines, though there are more literal lines than figurative, poems don't always have to be wrapped in riddles so this still works well at conveying a message. That said this is quite a good poem.

Awesome poem! This is such a cute poem <333333333 :D

First though, I don't have much to say about this poem that is negative, but there are a few things.

I remember the day when I asked the Lord

Mine isn't enough, I want another sis

No reply, none- I was disappointed

Cuz I wasn't expecting this...


I think it's better to write 'Cause instead of Cuz, since it makes the poem more formal.

The third line here should be "No reply-- none; I was disappointed"

She shines my days the fairy she is

Guarding me from every negative ray

And guides my way with her smile

Keeping me joyous everyday


There should be a space between "Every" and "day".

Negative things aside, this is a very nice poem, even though it's not very dramatic (As I love dramatic poems), but there is absolutely nothing wrong with a non-dramatic poem! The rhyming is great and the meter is perfect. There are no technical poetry issues here, and the poem is magnificent!

Anyways, can't wait for more of your work~

Bon Voyage!

Hey Anne27,

Great job writing this piece, I'm usually not one for poetry but this was a fun and easy read.

The very last paragraph especially was so true for me in my friendships.

The one thing I saw is that "I remember the day when I asked the lord" The lord should be capitalized I believe.

Keep up the great writing, would love to see more of your work.

Merry Christmas

Great poem. It is written with a good flow to it.

The ending of the poem was put together very well and allows for the readers own reflection on their own close friends and how much the people around them mean to them.

It is also always good to have a friend that you can consider a brother or sister to you. Those are the best of friends and the ones that stick around for a long time. Do not forget how much that friend means to you.

You seem like a great friend to your friends. :)

Thanks for the review Andy!! Yes I know, it really feels special when you can call your friend a sister and vice versa.. Thanks a ton for viewing me as a great friend too!! :D
