 Wonka's Scarlett Lollies 2009-04-18 . chapter 1I’ am a type of person, (here put either "I'm" or "I am")
Who has lots of love and reasons,(I don't really understand the use of the word "reasons" here. maybe replace it with soomething else, or explain it further.)
I’ll give everything to you,
Even my mind, heart and soul too (I would take "even" out of this.)
--
My love for you is everlasting,
What do you want? Just name anything, (I would put "it" insead of "anything," because "anything" has too many syllables.)
I’ll give it to you with all my heart,
I love you, so I’ll do my part. (other than what I said in the second line, this stanza was great.)
--
I’ll get the sun, stars and moon,
I’ll give you the Earth, anytime soon,
I’ll reach them just for you,
I’ll just jump high and breeze through. (all good!)
--
Come on name things you want to have, (how about "name what you want to have?" just a syllable issue.)
I’ll give it to you as a whole and not just halve,(spelled "half")
Because I love you and I care,
I’ll give you what the world tries to sell. (these last two lines don't follow the rhyme scheme you've set up for yourself. You've been doing AABB, while this stanza is AABC. Just make these last two rhyme.)
--
Oh, how innocent I might be,
Are you ready to give them back to me? (I don't really understand these two lines. What does innocent have to do with it? just try and explain further.)
Because I, just for our love to live, (take out "I." It just sounds smoother that way.)
There is Nothing I won’t Give.
Overall, it was very nice! You speak English very well for someone who is still learning. I love the idea off this poem and I hope my suggestions helped you out. :D |
 Kurayumei2 2009-04-17 . chapter 1I’ll give everything to you,

I think this might flow better without the Even in the second line.
My love for you is everlasting,
What do you want? Just name anything,
I’ll give it to you with all my heart,
I love you, so I’ll do my part.
I think that the few words which can be removed would make it flow more... yes, flowing issues, that's all I'm really going to be pointing out. What do you want? Name anything, I love you, I'll do my part. I left out the "Just" and "so" these extra words do nothing to add to the poem.
I’ll just jump high and breeze through.
Again, the "just" is un-necessary and interrupts the flow.
Come on name things you want to have,
Being picky again... There should be a comma after "Come on"
Come on name things you want to have,
I’ll give it to you as a whole and not just halve,
Because I love you and I care,
I’ll give you what the world tries to sell.
You've done very well with keeping in rhyme until this point. The last words in each line don't seem to match up and this is strange... though, if that's the effect you're going for, a kind of disjointed, back-tracking WHOA then it's worked.
Oh, how innocent I might be,
Are you ready to give them back to me?
Give what back? The moon and the stars and the sun and the entire universe? And, what will you do? Take them so you can give them? This line confuses me.
Over all, I think it's a vague poem, with little imagery. This just seems like teenage angst poetry, to be quite blunt. However, I'm not saying it's bad, I'm saying there are a few things that could be changed to make it flow which will make it easier to read, and that if you wanted to convey some sort of picture which inspires the mind, then you haven't done that very well. However, if you're just conveying the message of "there's nothing I won't give" which I suppose is the real meaning of this poem, then, you've done very well, and the message certainly is pulled across.
I hope my criticism was constructive enough and didn't make you bawl and crawl into a lonely corner in your room with a razor blade.
Wow, that was harsh and stereotypical of me. I'm sorry. But I do like your poem. In fact, I'm looking at some of your others right now... Will review one in particular I like... |
 AliceAnimeLover 2009-04-17 . chapter 1Nice poem...
Amm, "Come on name things you want to have," should be...
"Come on name the things you want to have,"
am i right? |
