Who I was, I always knew
Until the day that I met you.
I fell in love with you that day,
Wanted to hold you, never let you away.
Give me a chance, let me try,
Don't go running to some other guy.
Let me show, through my words and what I do,
This love that I feel for you is true.


I had the inspiration for this when I was thinking about a friend of mine one night. I want to dedicate this to her, because she is the one who got me started writing poetry.

Poetry isn't really my thing, but I decided to give it a try. Any criticism, good or bad, would be appreciated. Thanks.

This is a beautiful poem that you have written. You should continue. I can promise you that it'll become a part of who you are.

Welcome to Passions
I'm glad you've joined the forum! I really like the beginning of this poem. The whole thing is done well! It says you "encourage Constructive Critiques" so I'll tell you that the sylable (is that spelled right?) count was a little higher on these lines than the others, which I noticed while reading the poem.

"Wanted to hold you, never let you away."
"Let me show, through my words and what I do,"

They're fine how they are, but it might flow just a tich better if it was a lower number of sylables. That's just a thought though, and coming from me it probably doesn't mean much. Anyway, I hope you post some more and stay here a while I can't believe I wrote such a long reply here!

nicely done here. Welcome to passions. The syllable count was a bit off, but it's nothing I would know about. I have probs on it myself. I thought it was a pretty fair poem for being a newbie at poems. Nicely done.



I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

It's a good poem. The only criticism that I can offer is to pay closer attention to syllables in each line. You did this well at the start, but the flow seemed disrupted a couple of times by it. At least, for me.
And now that I bother to read everyone else's replies, I see this has been mentioned. Thank you, Lakewalker, for beating me to it again. You stealth-replier you. ~_^
