I wrote this poem for a young female Doctor named Lea from the Phillipines. It is supposed to be the words of an angel who has spoken to her heart to ease her sorrow of her fathers death. I have never really written poetry and I'm sure my grammer, spelling and punctuation ar terrible. I would still however appreciate any advice, feedback or corrections. Thanks for your time.

Simplicticly White


Simplicticly white, earnest and true,
your angel protector, allways with you


with laughter and love, I saw Lea from above
sweet smile of hope, and heart of dove

strong as diamond, yet fragile as glass
all heaven stopped, for what was to pass

the pain so long it seems, to souls still in flesh
is but a breathe in heaven,resplendent and fresh

but words cannot say, what only a heart can tell
remember love allways Lea, and all will be well

these words I cross over to say to you,
through another, whose heart beats honest and true

remember forever child, so long as you live, that beauty and smell, of flowers and sea
the solace you felt, whilst resting upon your fathers knee

sunset in Manila may come and go, yet forever in heaven, such glorious glow
there is a soul of man, strong and proud, whose likeness and statute you know

who feels notpain, sorrow, regret or loss,
for all has been beautified, blessed and cleansed by the Cross

Simplicticly innocent, Doctor in white
let go of guilt, sadness and plight

open your heart, like never before
lest you miss love, a knock on the door

Simplicticly white, earnest and true,
your angel protector, allways with you

Welcome to the world of poetry...When a poem rhymes it must consist of rise and fall of stresses/regular intervals. Yours doesn't. As words go, it's a very heartfelt piece of writing that many skilled poets would rip to shreds.

My advice is to ditch the rhyme for future writing until you have grasped the workings of meter...Focus on pose ... poetic without form/rhyme.

Happy writing.
Regards,
Always Lisa

I'm wondering why my response to this work has vanished?

Weird but it's back. I guess it will take some getting used to this forum. Live and learn.

Hi Frankiss!  I think this poem has a lot of potential.  The meaning behind it is beautiful, but I have to agree with Always Lisa...until you fully understand the basics, like meter, try writing free-verse (without rhyme).  Meter is what makes you start to bob your head in rhythm when reading a poem outloud...it makes it flow smoothly.  Good poem otherwise, and I look forward to reading more from you!

Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end...
