Filled

by dreampoet

Published October 21, 2011

My dreams are filled of life and color
My world revolves around you,
You give me hope and power
Our hearts are full of love that’s true.
As I walk around
Holding your hand,
With our feet planted firmly on the ground
I stand.
The sun bearing down on the river
We watch the water stand still,
I want to remember
The way your eyes kill.
Maybe I’ll get my feet wet
Then splash you too,
You get wet
I run away laughing at you.
This all proves one thing
The most important one,
Makes the heart sting.
A phrase with three words
I love you.

Wow :O you had good usage of sensory detail...I felt like I was there with you experiencing what you were.
This is one of the many things that makes a poem good.
I also like it cause I can really relate to what your trying to say.
I would love to read more of your work.
Give me a holler if you ever need anything reviewed.
Overall, this poems shows so much talent. Bravo!

This was I nice poem, but I'd just like to point out a few things. Corrections in violet:

My dreams are filled of (Do you mean 'with'?) life and color


Maybe I’ll get my feet wet
Then splash you too,
You get wet (This all just sounds a bit awkward. If you splash somesome, they will get wet. You really don't have to tell me, the reader.)


The most important one,
Makes the (Do you mean 'my'?) heart sting. (That's a odd word to use. It has a very negative conotatian almost as if you're saying it hurts. Try something more friendly i.e. race, beat, etc.)


Overall, I thought it was cute. Keep on writing!

overall great poem.

The sun bearing down on the river
We watch the water stand still,
I want to remember
The way your eyes kill.

The way your eyes doth kill.


to me the word "doth" makes it flow better



The idea that a poem was a made thing stayed with me, and I decided then that I wanted to be an artist, not just a diarist. So I put myself through a kind of apprenticeship in writing poetry, and I understood even then that my practice as a poet was deeply related to my reading.
