Hey dreamer, I'm Lee and here to review your poem!
Wow. Just wow. For some reason, I was reminded of Robert Browning while reading this; maybe it's the dramatic monologue, or the theme of "true" love? I don't know. But you did a really good job, and I'm duly impressed.
The night is young dear Percilla.
How about a comma after "young?"
Your eyes...they twinkle like the
northern star.
I'd suggest rewriting this to, "Your eyes twinkle like silvery stars."
My love for you is a milliom
times the brighter sun. If not more.
*million*
I'm sorry, what? Did you mean, "A million times brighter than the sun?"
I'm going to assume you did.
Replace the fullstop after "sun" with a comma.
When is your awakening?
When will you realize?
You blind the stars, yet you still
seem to have no respect for yourself.
Return home, dear Percilla, only to
find a lesser man than I.
Ooh, very nice. Well-worded and pleasant to read.
But no man will love you greater than I. What is love if not true?
Put the second sentence on its own line.
but I of your soul.
I don't think the "of" is necessary here.
The lads back at home,
dear Percilla,
promise you treaure.
*treasure*
So I assume the narrator and Percilla are elsewhere?
That's all. Like I mentioned before, this poem is pretty good, and I'm surprised to see it doesn't have as many likes as it should. (Ooh, that rhymed.) For your first poem, you've exceeded expectations!
I hope you're still writing, wherever you are. Good luck!
