I like the overall feel of the poem. It has a great message. I am wondering about the construction of it thought. In looking at it broken down into stanzas, based on rhyme, you have two quatrains with an aBcB rhyme, followed by two tercets with a rhymed couplet to end them. While it works well and really does not need to change, you could give it a bit more balance by adding a line to the tercets to match the quatrains. Please don't thin me harsh, it is a very small point and the poem is lovely as it, just something for you to think about.
This is so sweetly written. I love how you own the feeling in this piece. I enjoyed the write very much. Thank you for sharing and also for such a nice comment on my other piece.
You have a real knack (sp?) for writing with feeling and keeping up a good flow and rhyme at the same time. I like how you write "heartfelt" and though it was short it made it's point. Great job. ;)
Thanks,
I know this isn't my strongest poem..I wrote it at 3 in the morning. haha.
I'm not too happy about the ending of it..I'd like to change it..
Thanks for the tips,
Lauren
