A PUZZLE TO FEEL

It's in the disruption
Of a laugh from a child
It's in the corruption
Of misty eyes that was mild

It's in the rainfall
On the clearest day
It's in the mystic gall
Hushing the lark in May

Do you know what it is?
The hidden wedge in your soul
What you fear and never miss
That keeps you from feeling whole

The last stanza is almost perfect, while the rest I believe could have been more careful in the way they were thought out.

You have the idea for the poem, but have not been able to discover the correct pattern to get your words to flow.

The rhyme appears to be rhyme for the sake of rhyme. So therefore the rhythm is being forced to match up, just for the reason of being a rhyme with the previous key word.

I am sure you have the potential to write good and far better poems.

This one also looks ugly in its visual way the words and lines of each verse merge

Hi!

I`m of the one`s that think that not every poem have to be written with rhyme...

the message and feelings, the form that a poem makes you reflect is more valid than that...

I`m not an expert, but that`s what I think

Life is a dream,  while death is the awaken
