Question:

What do you think of my poem? I'm wondering if I have a talent or if its just something i should let go.?

Here is my poem


Let me love you,
if only for a moment.
Let you see me for something other than a friend
if only for a moment.
Let my hand hold yours
If only for a moment.
Let my soft pink lips touch yours
If only for a moment.
Let all the moments of us not be imaginary
If only for a moment
Lets pretend you weren??t a jerk and you really did love me
If only for a moment
Let what you said not be a lie
If only for a moment
Let my heart start crying with your sweet poison
If only for a moment
Let the rain stop pouring and the lightening stop thrashing and ruining the star lit sky
If only for a moment
But then we feel sorry for all the rest of the moments in the world that aren??t filled with passion. So let us love for life and not for just a moment. Let everyone wonder in silence as each moment is transformed into something long waited for.


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

For a beginner it is nice, and you have a little style with your choice of images.

You should read the poetry of Sara Teasdale, May Swenson, Dorothy Parker and Stevie Smith for seeing how many modern women handled poetry, and how the sentiments you express were handled by these poets. (Stevie is a woman, too).

Good luck with your work.
