Heart

by katy   Oct 10, 2007


A heart is a sacred thing,
Not to be messed with,
A heart is precious,
To be handled with care,
A heart is what keeps you going each day,
So when broken you stop working,

Everyday you protect it,
Promise never to be hurt again,
Unexpectedly it skips a beat,
For that one special someone,
Fallen in love once again,

Your heart,
Within your body,
Deep within your soul,
Beating inside your chest,
With every beat carries pure life.

    Beautiful piece of work you have here. Everything you spoke of was so true and I especially liked the ending, it tied the poem together so well. *5/5*

    I like this..it's kind of a unique poem in regards to the fact that you picked the Heart to talk about, but I think that's great. I love poems that are not of the ordinary.
    And I have to tell you, I like free verse too, most of my poems actually are free verse. So that does affect the flow, if you don't rhyme...but I happen to think that free verse poems have the most emotion in them..because they are just simple words that come out of your heart and soul without having to be processed and though about or changed to fit the "rules' in any way.
    With all that said, I think the poem was great. It's all very true. A very enjoyable piece. Keep it up! =]

    Ending is very effective. Honestly I don't like first stanza, because repetition of-a heart- leaves really bad impression and it is totally needless. I suggest you to change it and put some metaphors to create more powerful atmosphere.
    All in all I like it, it has interesting rhythm and very deep topic. last eight lines are my favorite part of this piece. It is original and you wrote it nicely.
