I Love You More

by foreveralone

Published November 30, 2010

Spoiler! :
Ok, so this isn't so great actually....but I tried my best though.... (:


When I hear your soothing voice,
I smile and feel rejoiced
When we are together,
everything disappears
and loses its meaning.
I want to be with you forever.
Your eyes,when you look at me
It make my heart skip a beat.
Can't you see?
When you hold my hand
I feel safe.
Every time you are next to me
I don't feel alone anymore.
There's so much to adore.
Oh, and, I love you more.

Hey, foreveralone, I'm jashy and I'll be reviewing your poem for today. I can see that you already got some reviews above, but I won't read those. Instead, I'll tell you my own opinions, okay? =) Don't worry, I'm not as harsh as the others.

First, of course, are some nitpicks (mainly typos):

I smile and feel rejoiced.

>> I won't usually point out this nitpick, but it seems like you were using punctuations grammatically. So, I guess, I had to point this out.

Your eyes,<space>when you look at me,
it make my heart skip a beat.


OVERALL

Okay, so that's just about it. I have a lot to say about this, I think. Some are personal, but some you, I believe, should take into consideration. You choose which to accept though.

First, the rhyming. I couldn't tell if you were trying to rhyme or so. When I read the first two lines, I thought it would rhyme, but it didn't. And so, when I read further, I was like "okay, so subtle rhyming"; but when it came to these lines:

When you hold my hand
I feel safe.


They totally had killed the rhyming, or attempted rhyming. I don't know, and I couldn't tell.

So that's just my little whining about the rhyming. I just want to say that, I had hopes up when I read the first two lines:

When I hear your soothing voice,
I smile and feel rejoiced


Read them aloud. Can you hear it? The rhythm was perfect! But you killed it, which, maybe it's just me--just me, kind of disappoints the reader.

Second, like the rhyming, the structure and the rhythm were lacking. Even free verse has rhythm, but I just couldn't point out the rhythm here.

Third, there were vague lines, and jumping lines:

When we are together,
everything disappears
and loses its meaning


You tended to jump here:

I want to be with you forever. (here)
Your eyes,when you look at me
It make my heart skip a beat.


It was like, the line "I want to be with you forever" was simply inserted or so.

I'm sorry, but I find this a poem of cliche. I'm sorry, but you really need to think of original ideas more. I find it too blunt and lastly, lacking imagery. I have one question, have you ever fallen in love before and felt this?

I apologize if I sounded harsh. But it's needed (bluntness) for you to improve. Don't take our corrections as discouragement (oh no! we, at least most, would never want that!) take them as open doors to improvement. So, like every other good reviewer, I will say it, and mean it: KEEP WRITING! You can always PM me or post on my wall for any questions.

I like the feeling and the passion you expound in this piece. The mood of the poem is very strongly suggested and it makes reading it a whole lot more interesting! You should add quite a bit onto it though just to get the feeling more out there. Why are you feeling how you do. Or Is the feeling shared and can it be contrasted/compared to anything else.

Hi! I've got some nitpicks for you:

and looses its meaning.

- Typo: 'loses'

Your eyes,when you look at me

- You forgot to put a space after the comma. I also suggest putting a comma after 'me' since the next line is a continuation.

When you hold my hand

- Suggestion: comma after 'hand'

Every time you are next to me

- Suggestion: comma after 'me'

- - - - - - -


I loved the last part xD. It's cute. :D The way it was written, it's like the persona suddenly wanted to add the 'I love you more' part. ^_^ I like the simplicity of this poem although it feels like it lacks some more 'description'.

Good job. :)

Wonderfully written. It feels... soft. I don't know how else to put it, it's just soothing, about real love, real genuine love. Nothing dis-functional or anything like that, just soft, soothing love. Its nice to see that every once in a while. Great poem, I really like this.

foreveralone wrote:When I hear your soothing voice,
I smile and feel rejoiced We don't know what rejoiced really feels like, it's a happy thing, I know, but it's an emotion, which is abstract. Anything that is abstract can be classified as blank description, because it tells us nothing. Try using a smilie or something here. Instead of "... And feel rejoiced" Try something like: ... and feel like I've opened a new door. Something that is good and could envoke emotion in us, so that we would feel that rejoice and better connect with the poem.
When we are together,
everything disappears
and looses its meaning. This is kinda boring. The reason for that is that it's mostly straight foward, you telling us what is what. Rather than showing us. An example here would be saying like: The tv is nothing more than a light, bathing us etc etc. A tv does more than give off light, but that doesn'tmatter because you're with this person. Something is a bit more interesting, and again, more relatable. Because there have been times where you've turned on a TV just for the light, and what was on it didn't matter, right?
I want to be with you forever. You don't really need to say that you want to be with them forever, you're writing about how much you love them, so we can already tell that you don't want them to leave.
Your eyes,when you look at me You don't need to say "your eyes" if you're going to say when he/she looks at you. The reason for this is: If they're looking at you, we pretty much knows this means their eyes. Besides, the your eyes also breaks the flow a bit. Try removing it.
It make my heart skip a beat.
Can't you see? You should try not asking questions in poetry, it usually just hurts the poem. We should be asking the questions based on what you said, the actions given.
When you hold my hand
I feel safe. Again, this is kinda simple and you should try rephrasing this (check above for more on it.) Also, safe, as a feeling less abstract is because safe is the absense of fear or worry, atleast to me, and that means that you feel okay, normal. It's describing the lack of something, so... it's a bit looser but I'm still not all for it.
Every time you are next to me
I don't feel alone anymore.
There's so much to adore.
Oh, and, I love you more.

Over all:
I think that you should spice this up, as in not being as direct and as bland with it. There's not a lot for us to relate to or see even.
Like, when this person makes you feel safe, why? Is it because they're a black belt in karate? Or are they very strong? We don't know this, so it's hard for us to relate.

Poetry can be like writing an essay, all of your ideas have to work toward that main idea, that main goal. Really, just make sure that everything works togeather to get that over all idea.

Good luck, keep writing.

Aww this is a cute poem. I have no idea what the first comment is talking about, I don't think that you need to 'give away' any more about what's going on in the poem, it's pretty clear. :) I think this poem could be a lot more passionate and powerful, maybe by adding a few more lines here, there and everywhere that fit into the poem.
The rhyme scheme is a little all over the place, but I think that adds to the sweetness of the poem.

My favourite line is;

When you hold my hand
I feel safe.


(Maybe because I'm a bit soppy like that) I think you could do so much more with this line, why does it make you feel safe? What else do you feel apart from safety? Any particular bond holding you together or something along those lines? Just a suggestion, but I think it could work rather well if you took it on board. (:

This is a gorgeous poem, something that most people can relate to and put a little smile on my face.
Keep writing,

Hey :) I'll do a quick review since lots of people already replied.

When I hear your soothing voice,
I smile and feel rejoiced. past?
Every time we are together,
It seems as if we are
The only two in the room. may I suggest : When we are together, everything disappears and looses its meaning? It's only a suggestion.
I want to be with you, forever.
Separate this here
Your eyes,when you look at me,
Make my heart skip a beat.
Can't you see?
When you hold my hand,
I feel safe.
Every time you are next to me,
I don't feel alone anymore. since you use feel already in there, I'd suggest the use of another word.
There's so much to adore.
Oh, and, I love you more.


First thing, you need to keep in mind that every line should be capitalized.
Now, I loved the feeling of this poem but I almost feel it's not powerful enough. Really simple, but I think I'd love to see it more intense. Overall, it's really good. I liked it! Keep on writing!

Though it was normal, you may want to use more exciting words or metaphors.
Along with that it was good for a beginner.

Exactly! What he said! lol

Hi foreveralone. I'm Solvy and I'll review for you today...or at least I'll try. XD Ok... this poem... I gotta say I understand what the narrator was feeling... and I guess you have felt the same way, too. Lol. But... the way you expressed your feeling in this poem are... well, what we see everyday if we go to youtube to listen songs or what someone would send to her boyfriend in a comment on Myspace... it sounds a little cliché, being honest. But it doesn't have to....

For example here...

Every time we are together
it seems as if we are
the only two in the room.

Well, saying that THAT sounds normal... it doesn't attract (most) readers because they have heard things like that a million times. I'm sure there are other ways to say that in a more... exciting way! hahahaha But I bet you can do it, after all... there's not a perfect writer in this world, we learn more and more everyday... (Don't get offended for what I said, cause I myself.... know how to be a professional cliché-maker, there's a lot of proof in my portfolio. xD) Keep it up...Byeez
