Why?

by Hopeless Romantic   May 27, 2005


Why do i worry so much about
your happiness and not my own.
why do i want to make you smile
even if it makes me frown.

Why is it you mean so much
to me this soon after we met.
why is it i Will do whatever you ask
and always without regrets.

Why does it matter what i wear
when i know I'm going to see you.
why do i worry about everything
that I'm going to say or do.

How can the beauty of your eyes
seem to hold my gaze.
i can never seem free myself
from their eternal maze.

How does the sweetness of your lips
keep bringing me back for more.
how does the tenderness of your touch
reach me to the very core.

why is it i want you around.
why is it i want you close by.
its because i love you darlin,
more and more as days go by.

For Jessica

    OK, you have your poem, the message is clear and you have stuck to a structure. Now you need to clean up the presentation, especially if you have aspirations of a book.

    Firstly, you must use proper punctuation. When you're asking a question use a question mark, when you pause like you would in a normal sentence use a comma. You get the idea. Capitalise I every time, it is very untidy when you have a few i's and just as many I's it doesn't take even a second to use the shift key, get in the habit now and you'll be better off down the road.

    Secondly a poem's standard format is to capitalise the first word of every line, so make sure you do so before submitting here, as I said earlier, it's all about habit.

    The title is hopeless romantic and yet there is no mention of it in the body. This is slightly surprising and you may want to address it because the poem you have written lends itself to a mainstream Hallmark audience (that is far from an insult) and poem titles are generally expected to be in there as it reflects what they want to say.

    The reality of this poem is that it isn't going to win any prizes, but it could sell easily. The only reason it won't win any prizes is because it contains too many I's.

    If this is your first poem, it's a bloody good start.
