It's neat how each stanza is four lines than the ending is three and reads with a gentle tone. "Unchain me like a melody" is chilling, love that line! |
Thanks Mary-Anne!!!I appreciate your taking the time to read and comment on my poem.I'll fix the errors I in the first stanza :-)it's interesting that you felt the next stanza to be very vague and that mysteriously doesn't quite work,I actually struggled to accept this stanza myself, and even though I could live with the vague atmosphere of the stanza,I couldn't live with the word mysteriously, it feels like I'm eating a delightful strawberry cheesecake only to find it has a coffee centre, in other words, it's just all wrong, it's hideous and disgusting and indigestible, but I really don't know what ingredient to add to make this the perfect creamy delight it should be, do you have any suggestions?(sorry about all three food metaphors, I'm rather a bit of a foodie and amateur cook and I've discovered it's a passion, along with ironing ha ha :-P |

I like this - it has a melodic flow to it and the first stanza is excellent. The rhythm of the poem reminds me a little of how I write, don't know whether you agree with that. |
I absolutely agree, weird how we have similar styles and content |
