~~Rachel~~ (Green Trophy Honorable Mention)

Out in the sunshine I see your dark  beautiful blue eyes
Your wondrous voice catches me by surprise

Rachel
You have bought great joy to my sometimes state of madness
While you are at my side I will no longer feel sadness


Rachel
Ghosts of the past shall haunt me no more
I open my eyes to the one I adore

I bow down beside my bed and gently pray
I wish for us happiness both night and day

Rachel
The woman of my dreams you will always be
Your the only woman in my life I need

Rachel
My dear sweet
Beautiful Rachel

    Hi Susan

    Enjoyed this. It's got an air of enigma about it ... a poem of love/admiration/enchantment for another. Makes the reader wonder who the mysterious Rachel is, and her connection(s) to those whose life/lives she graces with a presence!

    Line 2) "words" is a plural, so refer to it using the singular ("catch").
    Line 4) "sometime" means "whenever", a kind of vague time not defined. Perhaps change this, therefore, to "sometimes"?
    Line 5) The "know" and "no" in such close proximity didn't work for me (on a personal level) ... and there was a feeling the metre was over-long in this line, so perhaps omit a superfluous word or two? Perhaps present it as "While you are at my side, I will no longer feel sadness" ... or you could change "you are" to "you're", which cuts a syllable out too. Some ideas for you to consider playing with, that's all

    PS - I have a new author page you might like. Not sure if all the fonts come out properly on other people's computers though. Spent ages on formatting, so I hope they do, lol

    Wow, this is amazing. I hate being convinced to read someone else's poems that are 100 times better than mine, especially if they're in a contest with me. This is really beautiful. Amazing job! I applaud you and nice meeting you as well
