You...

You are my North star that lights my
  Path and leads the way home to you

Your eyes, as full as the moon
  On a Dark Winter's night

Your hair, black like a panther's fur
  In mid day sunlight

Your skin, like the cotton soft tail of
  A white rabbit in a flower garden

Your cheeks, a shade of incandescent pink

Your lips, the perfect resting place for mine
  When we kiss in the heat of the night

Your chest, a pillow for my head
  When we lie among the maroon sheets

Your shoulder, my forever absorbent tissue
  For my flowing black tears of pain

Your arms, my safe harbor of warmth,
  Love, and protection from harm

You're my love, my life, my heart,
  My one true being, my one true you.

Please tell me what you think

    Excellant/romantic

    I thought the simplicity of this poem was compelling and honest. Very good imagery. I enjoyed it very much.
    You are talented; keep on writing and improving and developing your own style.

    cliché

    i hate to say it, becuase you seem like such a nice person, but i felt that it was too cliché. i could pretty much predict exactly where it was going to go, and although you had some minor gramatical errors, it still lacked a unique ability to inspire me with something magical and unexpected. perhaps your format had something to contribute that feeling. to me atleast, if this was a large, long, emotional confession of love, then the evenly spaced cuplets with the excessive comma use didn't help contribute to the overall mood of the poem and actually (in my opinion) made it feel choppy and almost corny-love-song-y. alright, here are some other things to think about: everything in a poem is a metaphor and representation of the mood that you wish to convey. try and take that into consideration. as far as more nit-picky things are concerned, aside from the grammatical(sp?) errors, i noticed that in the second stanza, you capitalized "dark." Now, unless you plan to balance that by capitalizing a contrasting word like "bright" or "day," then don't put it in, because it seems random and unsupportive of the main idea. in the 5th little stanza thing, you have "incandescent." i think the word you are looking for is "iridescent," and if not,then perhaps you need to re-evaluate the context of the word. in the 8th stanza, you mentioned "flowing black tears of pain." ok, that's interesting...i think. despite mentioning that you're not emo in your bio, that seems rather emo-ish. forgetting all that, think about the phrase. what exactly are black tears? is that an allusion to a reference? are they metaphorical? ask yourself those questions with whatever poetry you write. also, looking back, the thing that makes this poem sound cliché is your EXCESSIVE USE OF SIMILE. I just wanted you to remember that. In case you may not know, a "simile" is a comparison using "like" or "as." almost, if not all of your stanzas contained examples of simile in some form or another, the repetative use of one figure of speech lends your poem to sound as i put it earlier: cliché and predictable. try using personification and metaphors.


    lastly, please understand that just because i didn't say "oh that was wonderful!" doesn't mean that i'm evil or rude or anything. most of the people, the vast majority, are only being supportive and know not of what it would actually take to criticize poetry for the purpose of improving it. your friends below you are good people, i'm sure. however, in their bias to you, their support for your poetry is all they give you. to truly improve, ask for an objective and unbiased opinion. please understand that i only wish to see you improve, and that my intentions were good.

    have a good day.

      Thanks for reading and for making all of those suggestions. In all honesty, I appreciate all that you've said. I don't expect everyone to say oh that was great and that's it. I wish more people would leave comments like the one you have left. Thanks again.
