Lover's Town

by Jenni Marie   May 2, 2007


There's this place that people go
Where the sun always shines
Happy homes line the streets
No place for dirt or grime.

Each person wears a smile
Their eyes sparkle with joy
In this perfect little town
They've found the right girl or boy.

Each morning arrives
Bringing a shining smile
Going happily about their day
Knowing everything is worthwhile.

Their hearts beat in unison
With no room for tears
Here in this perfect little town
There's no place for fears.

Always feeling content
Their soul's mate have been found
Feeling totally at peace
For they live in Lover's Town.

    I liked your poem. Very simplistic and yet enjoyable to read. The flow of the poem seems a bit lacking at times and some lines are disruptive either from wordiness or grammar.

    line1. flow: consider adding 'that' after place... reads better for me when I do that

    line4. wording: replace 'of' with 'for'

    line7. flow: "here in this" is repetitive. Take out 'here'

    line10. flow: present participle 'bringing' seems awkward. Most likely because it's followed by beaming. Consider revising

    line14. flow/wording: replace "there's" with "with"

    line15. flow: 'here in this' - same thing, makes line disruptive

    line18. ****wording: I really like this line, but I think it would be 100x better if you reworded it: instead of "soul mates" "their soul's mate has been found"

    Once again, I it's a nice read. I think you could stand to add another stanza or two to flesh out the emotions more fully and to draw the reader in better. Still, good work.
