    by The Poet Behind The Poems

    Little mermaid,
    i am no more.
    since i was washed up,
    on the sea shore.

    "This opening indicates that the speaker
    Is/ was a mermaid, this was very simple
    But worked with the rhyming scheme"
    -----------------------------

    my middle name is ariel.
    hair red as blood.
    i ran away from home
    for a guy i saw once..

    " I don't know at this point if you are writing
    About the Disney little mermaid but if you are
    I believe Ariel is her first name( not 100% sure)
    If not then its fine , this tells the speaker that
    She longed for a love nobody in her family could
    Accepted"

    -------------------------------
    i was in love.
    i sang my song.
    i love his jet black hair.
    he has been looking for me.
    my song stuck in his head.
    he cannot find me.
    even though i hide so close,

    "This stanza has too much going on for me, with
    Such little imagery"

    -------------------------
    i come out of hiding,
    he finds me at last.
    he belives im fragile,
    like a piece of glass,
    i am not fragile,
    i am pretty strong,
    for keeping my composure,
    all along.

    "i don't know if you meant to rhyme here but for me it changes the poem completely, I think it's tidier when
    You keep the same structure and rhyming"
    --------------------------------
    we sing the same song,
    we are completely in love,
    nobody can stop us,
    even from above.
    --------------------------
    "The ending first two lines I thought were very
    Touching but because of the rhyming here you were
    Very limited on the last two lines and it felt
    Abit forced"
    ---------------------------
    "I liked the story, if you work on the structure and stick
    To the same form it would be better for the flow , also
    Capitalize your I's , this is just my opinion , I only want to help :)

    Keep writing
    Tony :)

      I actually wrote this, about me,
      my middle name is ariel,
      and my hair really is red and stuff.
      there is this guy i have known him for years, and i have had the longest of crushes on him,
      i have always been there. but he never knew i finally got the courage to talk to him this year, and now it is all what i ever wanted.
      he thinks im fragile cuz im only 81.7 pounds and he is afraid anything will crush me, its sweet but it can get annying.
      and i know this is one of my worst on the rhyme, and i do feel like nobody is at home, they never seem to care when i come home with bruises for fights. and he cares, he is my everything.
