youngblood i took some advice you gave me over the summer on this poem and revised it hope  you like this version better!
****************************************************

Tomorrow my innosense I will give away
Falling in love with you has brought me to shame

I do not understand how it happened like this
Everything started with one simple kiss

Broken hearts and troubled minds
I can not decide whether or not to give up my prime

We both swore that we would wait
But that was before our first date

I like the idea. "innosense" should be "innocence" and "can not" should be "cannot". I thought this one was a tad bit unclear, but like I said, there was a good idea behind it. Keep up the work, this could lead to great things.

Well, this poem makes me feel guilty.  That happened in my last relationship, and I'm not sure, now, that it was the best idea.  A very emotional poem that I really felt at the heart.  Not unclear to me at all.

P.S. - youngblood?  you've got one he-- heck of an advisor there!

I think this is very cliche-ish. I've heard all those lines so many times before, maybe not in exactly the same words, but basically. I think you should try harder and try to be more imaginative when you write...try using metaphors or imagery or something..Anyways, your constructive critique thing says to tell you what I think, and give you ways to better your poems, so I'm just trying to help.

The poem is alittle unclear, but that's probably because you wrote it from personal experience that other people may not be able to understand...am I right? lol.
Constructive critism...hm...all I can think is to make it longer, add more details...simple stuff like that.
But either way, I like this poem alot.  And I do like this revision alot better from the orginal! This is going into my library. Keep writing!

Happy Holidays!
