    I liked this poem!
    when you first start reading it sounds like all is going well and then you get on to the 2nd stanza

    "You hold my hand, so carefully and gently,
    Then look into my eyes, intently,
    And say, I am sorry, I feel differently,"
    ^
    i found myself really likeing this part.. the rhythm of it fits really well, rolls off the tounge almost

    as the poem continues it gets colder and colder,

    "You bend down and give me forehead a kind kiss,
    Get away from me, I hiss,"
    ^
    i really liked this part!!

    overall the rhythm of the poem in places was abit off.. but the content more than makes up for it for me...
    also good use of the 3 line rymes

    5/5

    keep up the good work!
    get some more poems on here =P

    I loved how you put your poem formatting with each ending rhyming instead of just lines 1&3 that was really cute and how you have 3 lined stanza's instead of 4 lined stanza yeah that's definetly something i would do

    I think me and you have a lot of the same writing style

    If you ever get writer's block or are stuck on a poem title or anything just PM me and we could talk

    I think our poetry together would be a WIN!

    Gr8t work! and you are NOT bad at poetry you fit in just right a this site

    I think it's just because you've read other poet's work and compared to yours and figured you could never write something like that| well that's a lie you have real potiental

    Hope that makes you feel better about your poetry

    PM sometime I'd love to hear from you! :)

    I gave this poem 5/5

  • This is such a good poem. I felt the sadness radiating off the words. Way to go!

    'Lovely little butterflies in my stomach flutter,
    I tried to say something sweet, but not a sound could I utter,
    You inched to me a bit closer, watching me melt like butter,'

    ^^ these lines reflects such innocence... it reminds me of my teenage crush when I used to have butterflies in my stomach :)
    really lovely..

    the rest of the part is also well written...
    the ending is beautiful...

    nice write..

    "Lovely little butterflies in my stomach flutter,"
    `Oh, I love that feeling! Loved the usage of the word "flutter."

    "You inched to me a bit closer, watching me melt like butter,"
    `Watching me melt like butter - that was a unique way of wording it. :]

    "You hold my hand, so carefully and gently,
    Then look into my eyes, intently,
    And say, I am sorry, I feel differently,"
    `This definatly brings a lot of saddness that this person feelings differently. :\ Umm, these lines are shorter than the first stanza again. Try to keep them the same length for every stanza, it should help with the rocky flow.

    "I start to cry,
    I feel so alone and even shy,
    And begin to ask why,

    You say that, it was joke, nothing more,
    I feel so violated, I fall to the floor,
    The tears start to pour,

    How could you do this,
    You bend down and give my forehead a kind kiss,
    Get away from me, I hiss,"
    `These three stanzas..the flow kind of really picked up for me.. for me, it was a pretty strong "middle" of your poem. Great!

    "I stay where I am, and whimper,
    I try to grasp what has just happened but it is all a blur,
    All I know is that I do need him, being with him is what I would prefer"
    `I loved how you word things and how they bring such saddness throughout but.. the flow again.. starts to disappear again here. Lines are getting long.

    "He gives me lovely little butterflies,
    When he looks into my eyes,
    I can't believe we have to say goodbye "
    `Great ending, in my opinion. Very sad! But, yet well written.

    Overall, I think you do a fabulous job portraying the sadness.. but you need to work on the flow. :) 4/5

    You hold my hand, so carefully and gently,
    Then look into my eyes, intently,
    And say, I am sorry, I feel differently

    ^^ I liked that stanza the most. I could feel the emotions youve poured into it, and reading it really hit home for me. I can relate to it, in some way. I found the rhymes in some parts didnt flow perfectly, but i still enjoyed the read. Amazing work. o.O

    by Not Enough

    Lovely little butterflies in my stomach flutter,
    I tried to say something sweet, but not a sound could I utter,
    You inched to me a bit closer, watching me melt like butter,

    ^^ This issuch a cute way to start off.

    You hold my hand, so carefully and gently,
    Then look into my eyes, intently,
    And say, I am sorry, I feel differently,

    ^^ I really love the rhyming in this stanza. And te last line is like the twist to it. I love it

    What are you talking about, I say,
    You say, I do not love you, not in any way,
    I stumble and loose my footing in shock and dismay,

    ^^ I totally understand this one. It didn't happen to me, it happened to this girl I know. My girlfriend told her she didn't like her "in that way." But I was laughing, I know it sounds mean. But there's a long story behind it.

    I start to cry,
    I feel so alone and even shy,
    And begin to ask why,

    ^^ The rhyming is great in this one as well. the flow is kind of off. But still it's excellent.

    You say that, it was joke, nothing more,
    I feel so violated, I fall to the floor,
    The tears start to pour,

    ^^ I think the flow is a little off here. But I like th rhyming. And the message. The whole thing brings images to to mind.

    How could you do this,
    You bend down and give my forehead a kind kiss,
    Get away from me, I hiss,

    ^^ I love the kiss on the forehead part. "Kind kiss" is my favorite wording.

    I do not need you,
    Look at what you already put me through,
    You take your leave, I stare at your back until out of view,

    ^^ I don't really like the flow here, but it's good anyways

    I stay where I am, and whimper,
    I try to grasp what has just happened but it is all a blur,
    All I know is that I do need him, being with him is what I would prefer

    ^^ This kind of trew me off. I'm not sure I quite understand it. More; I don't understand the last line.

    He gives me lovely little butterflies,
    When he looks into my eyes,
    I can't believe we have to say goodbye

    ^^ Great way to end it. It's really sad, but amazing.

    All together, I think it really puts a picture in ones mind. I can really feel the emotion in it. Great job.
