When i look at you
I see our love reflecting
I know our love is true
I feel our love protecting

I look around my room
and i feel as though youre here
No matter how much I miss you
I just cant shed a tear

The thought of you
brings my heart to life
And I feel your arms around me
Saving me from my internal strife
I just wish that I could show
Exactly how much I love you
But i guess you'll never know

Weird is right. So is crude. Your weird friend may appreciate it but I don't see any hope for ever making it into worthy poetry. Sorry. Maybe next time.

Why post it in the Critical Analysis forum then?

Exactly, Not A Poet.

This is a personal note, not a poem.

Posting in critical is for the improvement of skills. If you want me to talk about the lack displayed here...forced rhyme, abstractions, no imagary, and a childish style that's more suited to carving on the gang-tree.

This style of writing is not suited to the standard I'd expect in critical.

Out of order-you've edited the whole poem, and posted another in place of your 'best friends poem', after you got 'bad' reviews. Why muck about? I'll not be going near any of your stuff again, [edited by moderator] what you've substituted is not a poem either, and it's full of abstractions and 'diary' turns of phrases.

It is very poor form to remove or radically change a posted poem after it has received other's comments. That makes those comments irrelevant and completely confusing to all who may try to follow the thread.

Once a thread is started, it belongs to the whole group, not just the originator. That said, it is quite acceptable to edit you post and make minor corrections, such as typos, but try to do so before it receives replies.
