In poem to a friend

PreviousNext

You are the one who keeps me calm

You are the one I look up to

You are the one that can make me smile

You are the one I can never stay mad at

You are the one that never gets mad at me

You are the one that pulls me together when I am broken

You are the one that never judges me

You are the one who never gives up on me

You are the one who I can never forget

You are the one who cheers me up when I'm sad

You are the best You are my Best Friend

Hello. SecreteJournalist here, but do feel free to call me Brie, if you please. Welcome to YWS! I'll be happy to give a quick review to your first poem!

I'm going to start backwards and work my way up. I'm going to go through nit picks.

You are the best You are my Best Friend


If these are two separate sentence (I assume so since 'You' seems to indicate a second sentence) then split them up so it's not so confusing.


You are the one who cheers me up when I'm sad


This poem lacks description. This makes it general. Imagine if you put in a description on why and how they help eachother out.

You are the one who never gives up on me


Why would anyone give up on you? Put some imagery and description in there!


You are the one I can never stay mad at

You are the one that never gets mad at me


This is generalized in the second line, so no need to keep the first line.


You are the one who keeps me calm


Why wouldn't you be calm? Don't be so general.

Enough with the nitpicks though, I'll get to the positives! For a first poem, the general concept is awesome! With more practice, I feel you could become an amazing poet. Keep writing!

Sincerely,

Hi :)
Considering this is your first poem it's awesome. Love it. It describes my best friend perfectly so I can easily relate. My one and only suggestion is to change:
"you are the one that pulls me together when I am broken"
To:
"you are the one that puts me back together when I break"
But of course that's just my opinion and it works either way.
Great job. Keep writing.

Thank you for your review!!
