Poetry
Said She

Okay..I'm not good at this romance stuff in poetry...Hopes this is something like it...Just criticize and tear this apart...okay not too much...

Winter bliss, night befall

I sit by my bedside and pray

That my true love will come back someday

I sense his touch

I sense his yearning

But indulgence sweeps me up to see

That he will never be

Oh how I long his burning eyes

His gaze penetrating through mine

But when chills creep up my back

I think of the time he will crack

For it wasn't my fault he didn't love me enough

But I just got what I wanted; pay back

I think that if you have some punctuation it will help with your poem. Also if you split it into recognizable verses which are clearly divided, that too will help people to read and understand. Hope this helps.

I like the twist in the end of this piece. It is a bit cumbersome in places - more like prose with line breaks than poetry at times and, as Josie says, some punctuation would help this piece. I think you also need to consider carefully every single word you use - avoid cliche and really decide what you want to say. I like the overall direction of this though.

I liked the essence of this, but as Elli hints, it still needs some development and polishing.
