Comments : My Wait For Grand.

  • 15 years ago

    by Love Panda

    I walk to my shelter as the earth trembles beneath my feet.<-----TOO LONG.

    I walk into happiness with the world on my shoulders...<-----'UPON' - INSTEAD OF ON.

    I step lightly past graves and tombs,
    I walk past even you...<-----NICE LINE.
    I find my light right where i lost it...
    I found it next to that grave.<-----NEEDS ANOTHER WORD IN THERE.
    I found you.<-----NICE.

    The place I left my heart...<-----'THAT' - INSTEAD OF THE.
    The place where my life ended and my death started.

    >>The place where my life ended and my death started.<-----'...and my death DID START'<<

    The head stone read "Weeks" when my heart break was years...<-----ANOTHER STANZA SHOULD BE PUT BEFORE THIS ONE, TO MAKE IT READ SMOOTHLY.

    All i gained from coming was heavy tears...<-----COMING??WHERE - HERE-THERE??

    This graveyard was my home...<-----NICE.
    Where i was to be laid...<-----ANOTHER WORD SHOULD BE ADDED HERE.

    Yet that all changed as long ago as i stared upon this old grave.<-----MAKES NO SENCE - MAKE IT CLEAR.

    The man laid here was know to me as grand.
    And grand he was...<-----NICE.
    >A<Tall, thick, fatherly figure...
    Red hair >AND<cold green eyes...
    >I<Never seen him in person yet love i still held for this guy.<-----REPHRASE THE WORDS AFTER PERSON TO MAKE MORE SENCE.

    His heart ever growing his mind set on peace...
    Cut down in his prime...<-----LOVE THIS LINE.
    Now he lays diciest...<-----WORKS WELL WITH THE LINE ABOVE.

    Tears break down...>THEY<cover my face..
    Heart break to heart break this is heart breaks place.<-----OVER USAGE OF THE WORD 'HEARTBREAK'.

    Here in this grave yard where my mother's father is laid<-----GET RID OF LAID AND USE SOMETHING LIKE SLEEPS/RESTS.

    Here in this place of love and hate.<-----NICE.
    I pray for him back BEcause with him gone I'm alone.<-----because'WITHOUT HIM' im alone - INSTEAD OF WITH HIM GONE IM ALONE.

    Here in this graveyard all so messily sown...<-----NICE.
    I look for his words all jumbled in my head...<-----HOW ABOUT - 'I SEARCH FOR THE WORDS THAT HE WOULD SAY TO ME'.

    Yet only words Ive had where the words Ive read...<-----...the words ive read 'UPON HIS GRAVE/IN A LETTER??'.

    So alone >AND< so misguided.
    Yet i shall wait.<-----WAIT - WAIT FOR WHAT?
    Wait for him again at the fiery red gates...<-----WAIT FOR HIM, TO DO WHAT??

    >>OVERAL ITS NOT A BAD POEM, SOME THINGS COULD BE CHANGED TO MAKE THE READER MAKE SENCE OF IT ALL A LITTLE BIT BETTER, BUT I FEEL YOUR PASSION. AND THATS A GOOD THING TO FEEL WHEN YOU WRITE A POEM FOR SOMEONE.<<

    Well done.
