Your comment was posted, but it wasn’t long enough to count as a review. Reviews need about four complete sentences (at least 250 characters). Try writing another review that explains your thoughts in more detail — the author will appreciate it, and you’ll earn points for it.
Not bad at all. Just a few suggestions:
1. Maybe be more conservative in your use of contractions? Sometimes it seemed to disrupt the flow of the verse.
2. Fourth stanza, third line, I'm is misspelled.
I really liked the ending...short, sweet, and too the point.
Thanks! I didn't notice so thanks for pointing that out, one of the dangers of typing on your iPod haha
I know how it is.

Eeps. I forgot to mention this before, but I don't really consider myself very well-versed in poetry. I only read people like Frost and Dickinson and Cummings at leisure. So, I don't know if you want to take my review into account, but I'll do my best with the knowledge that I do carry!(:
I'm sorry if I don't give you a helpful review. But a word, btw, on how I review: The last thing I want is to offend you. So push that out of your head now. I'm not here to insult you, only to help you grow. I limit myself to two or three major points and I don't go overly in depth with my comments/critiques/suggestions only for the sake of review length. But if you have questions or comments, or if I touch upon things that leave you a little puzzled, don't hesitate to pm me!(:
So anyway.
1. The message put forth was short, sweet and relatable, but admittedly "not my cup of tea". Like I said, I'm a prose junkie--a story writer, so maybe my thought that it's a little emotionally and "meat"-lacking isn't applicable?
2. If I'm not mistaken, form is a very big part of poetry. Your work reads like a piece of prose (not a problem), only offset by the amount of words you have on each line. Maybe the form/structure you have now is exactly the way you intended for it to be, but I just don't see the use of it. For example, "We Real Cool" by Gwendolyn Brooks reads like a piece of prose, but looking at the structure, the first word of the "sentences" are the last words of the lines. For a purpose. Does this make sense?
3. In the fourth stanza, I like the idea of the speaker kind of "waiting hopelessly" for the subject to look their way. I only have a wordage suggestion: instead of using the word "dream" maybe "hope"? Though, I do understand that this is a piece of poetry and there are probably loads of symbols and/or subliminal messages linked with that word or stanza that I didn't read into enough. Haha
So anyway. That's all I've got for you here. I liked it! It just wasn't much my cup of tea. Keep up the good work!(:
Feel free to message me for anything!(:
xo gummies.
Thanks
This was alright, but I really would've liked to see a little more personality shine through. It came off as being a little cliche in my opinion, and typically that can be avoided by giving the poem your own sort of twist. This is a good poem, but I feel like it lacked anything new.
Ugh! You are constantly telling me that! Haha but seriously, thanks for the feedback.
I really, really enjoyed reading this... I see that you are so talented
Keep up with this work and good luck with writing your next poems... I am looking forward to read your other works.
Thank you! I'm really glad you liked it!
