I got your request to review this, so here goes. This reads more like a quick synopsis of a work in progress. You need to provide "scenes" that show, rather than tell, the emotions and general view of these characters. There are a few repeated lines which tend to take away from the piece instead of adding to it. Especially in poetry it is more important sometimes to let it be real but also give it depth, meaning, some kind of symbolism that evokes the emotion it's showing. I hope you edit and revise this since the subject is very sweet and endearing. Hope this review is what you were looking for as this piece has been thoroughly reviewed and I don't believe I'm adding anything new. As always, return the favor :) Keep writing!
Life is made of moments. Each individual strings them together into their personal stories. Dreams are very personal, individual, even metaphysical. Get personal with this piece. The "length" or the "showing vs telling" is not the point. Don't get caught up in the circles. Deal with the archetypes here, dreams, love, princess, freedom, childhood, love, get personal with these. Don't set a word limit. Get all of it out and worry about the rest in edits and rewrites. If you ask a question in your narrative, answer it, it will be the same questions your reader will come up with. So to recap, let the story simmer, re-read it, answer the questions and get personal... watch the magic ensue.
I couldn't agree more with the previous constructive criticism though I find your idea quite interesting, only a young and passionate heart can find a new way to ask the same old questions which never meant to be answered ...
some here say to expand the imagery but I appreciate the simplicity of it for it allows my mind to fill in the gaps. In my opinion, a poem should be about emotion and I would like to see more of that. How that smile made you feel, how you felt free in his company, how those dreams made you fell and so on. Though its a good start :)
This short little piece reveals a young woman's heart and that makes it beautiful. I hear innocence and wonder, both in short supply these days. There were a few grammar and spelling issues but then again it isn't a finished work yet is it.
