    It's concerning that the knowledge of some people on this site is so lacking that you have to define "ode" haha...anyway.
    It seems you've tried to weave and somewhat mask overused words within
    the easy and contemporary format, but I still feel "angel" "heart" "kiss" and rhyming you with true is not "good" poetry. I know you can do better!!
    "Oh please, pull me in" was subtle and suggestive; repeated it worked well in the poem.
    The overall idea was interesting and enjoyable, I just think no matter what context they're in those words will always be cliche.
    Thanks for sharing.

    I say who cares if it's cliche if you pull it off as you have done in this beautifully penned piece. The only part I'd change is this line:
    Do not fear the fast pacing hours; Maybe Do not fear the coming hours.....or something else. It threw the flow off by being a little too long. You did an excellent job overall though!

  • Wonderful poem. I love the structure. The flow was excellent.
    Beautifully written. 5/5

    A very nice ode. I love this idea as well and it is a rhyme scheme I do enjoy. It is a little short, but that isn't always bad.

    5/5

    Great write. This was a brilliant job. The word choice was superb and the flow was seamless. I really enjoyed reading this poem. It seems so much stronger than much of what i write. 5/5

    This is not a good poem at all.

    This is basically a very very good poem and i just loved it... ;o))

    Precious angel,
    Whisper stories
    By nights long gone
    Of your sweet sin;
    Oh please, pull me in

    so beautiful....

    all the best and take care

    I loved how you made the 2nd stanza the same as the last it made it sound really good. They would have to be my favorite stanzas. I dont find this poem cliche at all and i do agree if some people find it cliche who cares you pulled it off really well. I Found this peice to be really beautiful the sweet emotions i felt from this were magical. Definitly a great piece of work from you, yet again. Well done ~mel

    That was really nice the lines

    (Pull me in free from sin)
    That was very well done. there wasn't much of a story line to it. That was disappointing but it was soothing Good job Plot121

    Hm this was a preaty good poem.. Not the best but that might also be because I'm not to sure what Babylon means and I dont have a dictionary with me here. The only thing that I can critique on is I didnt really get the feeling of immense glory. Nice job otherwise though.
