    ALRIGHTY.

    this poem is like..amazing, first of all. Like Britt-o said, it is chilling. and so sad...it's horrible how sometimes all we have left is a memory..

    just a digital camera remains
    holding our precious photographs
    reminiscing of what we once had
    never again to be experienced

    ^^ instead of photographs here, you could use memories? that would sound good, and we wouldn't use the same word again...or you could even use, "holding our precious dreams" use an abstract noun that is associated w/ pictures..

    tears still flow when thoughts of you appear
    stains forever left where a smile once stood
    this broken heart has never mended
    unable to forget about love so true

    ^^ i love this stanza so much, sherry. it's sad, but utterly beautiful and unforgetable..

    looked through some old photographs today
    just to catch a glimpse of your loving face
    memories have become a haunting past
    all happiness has forever passed

    ^^ you could almost reuse photographs here, because it's repetitive of the first stanza. which ties it all together.

    this poem is wonderful sherry..i'm sorry...*hugs*

    You expressed emotions on a good way. I think that you described your feelings greatly, though you could use more creative words, you still managed to portray your message on a strong way.
    Repetition of first stanza didn't left too big impression on me, you on a nice way put a tone of circle which isn't over there but it personally didn't impressed me too much cause I expected some powerful thought for the ending line.
    I think that this poem could have even more effective rhythm if you used some punctuation. Anyway overall I truly enjoyed in this piece. First lines didn't pulled me in this poem too much. Second stanza is fantastic. That was my favorite part of the poem, you wrote it excellently and said so much with little words, truly great stanza.
    Bravo!

    This poem has a very strong emotion and you stuck with that emotion! You kept your message very real and that's what makes other poets wanna keep reading not the rhyimg or wording it's the message your tryingto petray! good job 5/5

    Oh how sad!! I love the repeated stanza, although, I might have reversed the lines to put a slightly different emphasis on them.

    "just a digital camera remains
    holding precious broken dreams"
    ^^ what a heart-breaking image. The fact that it's a digital camera adds so much to it. These dreams could so easily be deleted whether accidentally or on purpose.

    You have such an amazing way of packing so much emotion into your words.

    Great work, Sher!

    Sher, This piece was absolutely beautiful. I really don't know what to say to you..

    I'm speechless. Quite shocked.

    You definitly played with my emotions throughout this piece. You grasped onto my heart and made it bleed for you.

    Your a beautiful lady, I know you've been through alot. You deserve the world.

    I'm sorry for the pain you have gone through in your life, though atleast it helps you to create such heart wrenching and gorgeous poetry.

    Thankyou for sharing this piece.

    First of all, the title really caught my attention so I just had to read it. I'm really not into love poems [sad or happy], because I feel like people just say the same thing over and over, but this one was so unique and personal. You thought outside the box and worded things in a way that basically hypnotizes the reader [or at least that's what happened to me].

    Looked through some old photographs today
    just to catch a glimpse of your loving face
    memories have become a haunting past
    all happiness has forever passed

    ^^ I loved the imagery here. I could see these old yellow photographs with someone happy and laughing in them. It gives off bittersweet emotions.. You want to smile and cry at the same time. I also liked how you repeated it for the last stanza.

    This is one of the few love poems that I absolutely love. Amazing job!

    Keep writing!

    Stains forever left where a smile once stood
    this broken heart has never mended

    these are my favorite lines, I think you did a really nice job with this piece and I like how you repeat your opening stanza, though I am not sure I like the past & passed together.

    I thought the sadness behind it was very real and easy to relate to, all in all it was a very enjoyable read, great work.

    What a lovely write. The imagery was outstanding. The flow of the poem was good, but could of been better with some puncuation. I can't stress it enough, puncuation is a big part of making it flow better as well the overall structure (which in your case is good except for the fact you have no puncuation)

    Looked through some old photographs today
    just to catch a glimpse of your loving face
    memories have become a haunting past
    all happiness has forever passed

    ^^I really liked this stanza, for it is a great opener for the poem. The imagery is very vivid and so many can relate, I know I sure did when I read this stanza, it made me want to keep on reading.

    just a digital camera remains
    holding precious broken dreams
    reminiscing of what we once had
    never again to be experienced

    ^^I thought this stanza was good, and had a nice flow to it, but I felt it was a little choppy with the last line. Digital camera, you deff. brought it to a new level with technology, I was visualizing the photos to be actual photos on paper.

    ``````````

    tears still flow when thoughts of you appear
    stains forever left where a smile once stood
    this broken heart has never mended
    unable to forget about love so true

    ^^Ok, as I stated above, puncuation is a must (at least in my eyes it is) So for example:

    Tears still flow when thoughts of you appear.
    Stains forever left where a smile once stood.
    This broken heart has never mended,
    unable to forget about love so true.

    ``````````

    looked through some old photographs today
    just to catch a glimpse of your loving face
    memories have become a haunting past
    all happiness has forever passed

    ^^I liked the reputition of the first stanza and the last. This was a nice way to end the poem, it gave it a nice close and a refreshed view of the first stanza. Reputition is a great tool and I liked what you did with it.

    ``````````

    Overall, wonderful write, keep up the great work.

    Peace, Joe

    Beautiful. I really loved how you took little something that went through you that day and turned it such a markable poem.
    Specialy loved reputition of the first and the last verse. Made whole poem stronger.
    Also, it is incredible how well you can connect with the reader. It's like almost I can what mood you were in when you wrote this piece.

    Brilliant. 5/5
