Beauty Immortal

Beauty immortal
your love
could never die
why you calling me
tauntingly,
you keep haunting
me..
with those 'life-lived'
eyes..

mind
starts
to fantasize

each day I awake
I see the sun light
up the day..HEY
see how you,
set my mind astray?

My dear,
beauty immortal
for you now I see
life has proved to be
just one of plastic
ceramic or clay..

once 'charge' has expelled
dear beauty immortal
your reality's gone away..

    Your mix works

    You have an unique style that mixes sentimental with shoot from the hip. Like this......HEY
    see how you,
    set my mind astray?

    Just shout out at that haunting woman! It works Swan...it works. I like the enternal rhyme also, as with
    why you calling me
    tauntingly,
    you keep haunting
    me..
    Very nice pen. Kudos!

    Hi. Thanks for entering my contest and good luck! I’ve decided to use a slightly edited version of my friend Arkbear’s grading scoreboard to help me judge this contest. I hope he doesn’t mind. It’ll aid me in organizing my thoughts and judging fairly versus randomly. I hope you enjoy it and find it helpful. Writers with the highest possible points out of 80 will obviously win

    Title Appeal: 8.5 – Not a bad title at all. I found it somewhat appealing, but I think it gives a little bit too much information about the content of your poem.
    Poem Flow: 8.95 – Lack of consistent punctuation made this read somewhat choppy. I didn’t know where to stop/slowdown and start up again, so I ended up reading it rather quickly. The third stanza seems to stick out like a sore thumb – almost humorous in what is supposed to be a serious poem? No? Yes?
    Depth: 7.55 – The power and impact just don’t seem to be there, especially with that third stanza thrown in there.
    Emotional Impact: 7.25 – Just didn’t feel it.
    Spelling and Grammar: 9.75 – Good job.
    Punctuation and Caps: 7 - I might’ve capped “beauty immortal”, and you caps are lacking in other places. I would’ve added so much more punctuation to this poem! Proper punctuation, IMO, is soooo important to the power and impact of a poem. Punctuation pauses and stops the reader at the appropriate places so that he/she can reflect on your thoughts and absorb them….connect with them. Again, my opinion. I’m not a fan of “…” at the end of sentences.
    Presentation: 9.75 – Broken up properly and aesthetically pleasing.
    Personal Appeal: 7.25 – I just didn’t connect with this piece. I’m sorry.

    My score: 66.00/80.00
