Question: Um!.!.!.just honestly curious, are my poems any good!?
Well, i was thinking of giving this to my boyfriend!.!.!.so any advice would help!. Rate and critique please!. And read the other one too!.!.!.but i'm not giving the second one to him!.!.!.just the first!.


You have always been the one,
Who took my breath away!.
You’re all that I could think about,
Every night and day!.

I have always liked you,
And you said you have too!.
You said that love for me,
Was all you ever knew!.

Now we are together,
And nothing can go wrong!.
I can only describe our love
As “nothing is that strong!.”

I always dream about you,
Every time I sleep at night!.
And I am constantly wishing,
That you were in my sight!.

While I’m writing this,
I’m gazing at the moon,
Knowing that our love is pure,
And we’ll be together soon!.


And this one was when i was just venting when my sister used me!.!.!.again!.!.!.:(


DEVIL’S KISS:

I can’t stand to be mad,
My anger cold, my heart bad,
I always hate to be used,
My soul forever torn and bruised!.

But still my sister does it,
And it wasn’t right, was it!?
That she was bad, and I was good,
And she got the strength like I knew she would!.

She got the strength to resist it, to fight,
And even though I tried will all of my might,
To have the strength to fight and resist,
By the devil, I was still kissed!.

He lured my into his traps of depression,
Anger and fury becoming a main session!.
But I blocked it out the best that I could,
And I hid my broken self, under my hood!.

I find myself laughing at the madness inside,
Insanity taking over, my old happy self died!.
I try to hold on, to grasp it, to be,
To try to hold on, to the happy and real me!.

But eventually my fighters fell,
And even thought they fought so well,
I could not help but to sit back and weep,
As the following thoughts ran through my head, the ones I would keep…

“This is the end,
let reality bend,
as I close my eyes,
knowing my soul dies!.”

I have copywright on them!. My teacher made me do that!.!.!.unnecessary as it may be, but still usefull!.

So like i said!. Please rate and tell me how i can improve!. PLEASE!
And please be honest, if i am no good, would you be kind enough to tell me before i embarrass my self

I think they are very good pieces of work although I am no expert at these things I truly enjoyed reading them!. It was very wise for your teacher to suggest something like that!. Good Luck and keep writing! Www@QuestionHome@Com

Very insightful work with great depth!. Rework line---nothing is that strong!. It tends to be confusing!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

guys don't really care about poetry, sorry!. if you bought him a new pocket knife, that would impress him!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I liked 'em, but that's one of the first poems I've read in like two years :P Www@QuestionHome@Com

" Nothing is as strong" doesn't make sense!.!.!.!.in the way you have used it,!.
I truly believe if you are creating poetry you should not pick words out of the air to make it rhyme!. It looses too much and stops the flow of the thoughts you are trying to convey!.!.!.!.
The second poem is a bit absurd!.
I find you are being over dramatic and grasping for words to express anger!., It is too wordy and looses the reader's attention after "She got the strength like I knew she would"!. You are repeating the same words over and over!. I would try to say it in less words!.!.!.!. read through the last couple verses and scale it down to maybe two verses!.!.!.!.
The idea is to paint a picture for your reading audience, so they stay interested and want to explore your feelings with you!.
Your style is good and you have a good command of words, don't be afraid to step out of the box and try some new ones!.!.!.!.everything does not have to rhyme!.!.!.!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You've got potential, once you outgrow adolescence!. The angst, heartbreak, why me!?, and slurpy love are a bit much, but you've got some rhyme and time!. Keep at it!. In many ways the venting piece was the stronger of the two, because you weren't going to hand it to someone, and thus were more honest, feeling, and perhaps a little less manipulative!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
