My heart yearns for what they've lost.

by Teria   Nov 16, 2008


His smiles glisten
still to this day -
his heart that beat,
the sound won't fade away.
The deathly look
that God set forth,
lays upon his hardened skin.

Horrid screams from the crowd,
the tears that pour...
they're awfully loud.
Flowers and pictures,
lying across him -
like a movie, I watch
the time pass by.

My heart it yearns
for what they've lost.
But, a boy so young;
what it'll cost.
The pain that lingered
that very day...
still plays a part,
in every way.

    Very well written.

    A few things to point out. HIS SMILES sounds a little awkward; even though it isn't. It sounds like two plurals together; even when I know they are not, it still made me fumble when I read it.

    MY HEART IT YEARNS sounds awkward too; either MY HEART YEARNS or OH HOW MY HEART YEARNS flows better.

    WHAT IT'LL COST is confusing too. I'm not sure how to reword it, but maybe IS WHAT IT'LL COST or even PAID THE ULTIMATE COST. I'm at a loss for words on what to recommend, but it just doesn't seem to fit.

    Overall, I LOVED the flow; the mix of rhyme and non-rhyme really drives home the point. I love the HARDENED SKIN line; it foreshadows a deathly image without revealing too many details.

    5/5 from me. Simple, short but powerful.

    This title just captured my attention and had me curious as to what the poem was going to be about so I applaud you on an effective title. :]

    Very strong opening to your poem. The flow here was just flawless without the rhymes being forced or out of place. Great choice of words and phrases such as "horrid screams" and "hardened skin." You created the scene flawlessly and I felt as if I was there experiancing it myself because you touched each one of my senses with your nice choice of words. The imagery here was just flawless. You said so much in such a short piece and that is really hard to do so great job on that!

    I loved the twist at the end because I wasnt expecting it.

    Well done.
    *5/5* :]
