Question: Poem - Commands Of The Heart - What Do You Think!?
We walk the same path hand in hand
But yet we don't quite understand
Self-doubt dominates emotion
As does our love and devotion

I have heard trust has to be earned
Time must pass for it to be learned
But recognition began at the start
We must heed commands of the heartWww@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
And who are you flirting with and wondering about!? Self-doubt, cast it out, rid yourself of that anchor and go for the gusto! lol Nice, reflective piece!. Borderline cliche on S2L1 but you offset it with 'I have heard!.'Www@QuestionHome@Com

i thought it was well written and rhymed
but agree with prior poster who said it seemed short !.!.!.i felt the poem was cropped!.!.!.!.lured the reader in then stopped short !.

perhaps the addition of a verse or two [not all poems have to be ten pages long i understand] and lengthen the lines as some didnt fit with a poetic flow

for example !.!.!.great lines
"self doubt dominates emotion
as does our love and devotion"

just felt it was less flowing than the two lines that preceeded them

perhaps simple additions may make the flow more natural !.!.!.
like
"self doubt dominates OUR emotion[s]
as does our OWN love and devotion "

adding little words and an s may make more of a difference than thought!.

this technique can be followed on the second paragraph aswell,as it seemed cropped again [not saying disliked it just trying to help flow be more natural ]
consider :
"i have heard that trust MUST be earned
AND THAT time must pass for US TO LEARN
but recognition HAS TO BEGIN at the start
AND we must heed THE commands of the heart"

[adjusting a word here or there may make the natural flow more believeable !.!.!.and helps readers focus whilst reading "

goodluck and hope i helped

I read a quote some time ago,
"We can't demand respect we command it!."
this quote came to mind as I read your insightful poem, KudosWww@QuestionHome@Com

I did enjoy it, but I would have liked 4 more lines, maybe those lines lie in your future and as of this moment are unknown!.
