light in the dark

light in the dark

A Poem by featherstoflight

I know you are in there 
somewhere in the dark 
I feel you in here
inside the center of my heart

if you don't come out to play 
i wont stay 
if you don't hurry up
i am going to give up

get on out you creature
you scared little thing 
come on out you teacher 
i'm gunna give you wings

a few things

I would change the first line to* I know you are in there, because your should be you're but the added syllable gives the line a little more grounding

the third and fourth lines i would slash down to the bare minimum *I feel you here *in the center of my heart

Listen to the words as you read them. Hear the voice of the poem as it rises off the page. I like the absence of punctuation, space is really all you need to regulate the rhythm here

just a little sanding and this will be a jewel

i actually like this one, it feels some what true, written from the heart, sure there are some mistakes , but by and by, reading more, writing more, you'll be able to avoid them and develop a pattern for your own :)
