    The Pros
    This felt like it should be a song, and perhaps with a little working could be! I liked the flow of the poem; it was simple and yet conveyed your message.
    The Cons
    I agree with the 'ing' thing - there is also a little problem with the tempo - a couple of stanza have different tempos and this does put the reader off a little - perhaps why I first thought it was lyrics for a song
    Final Thoughts
    Overall a good effort - not bad at all for a 16 year old!

    They ARE lyrics. I can't write poetry. xD

  • Oddly enough, I really enjoyed it

    The Pros
    I thought, by the title, that this would be a poem about something dark and emotional, but...
    Wow, this was really something!

    This poem really shows some artistic aptitude, and a natural flow of word; crucial in the world of great poetry.

    The first line was brilliant and captivating, the chorus was natural and comfortable, the lines were just great....
    I find it hard to say more, though there is a lot to be said about this piece.
    Really, great job.
    The Cons
    The only thing i would say, would be
    Maybe in the fourth stanza, have the verbs that start the lines end in "ing"
    "Floating" "Playing" Knowing"
    I think it would flow a little better.
    When I read the line
    "Know I've always got my friends"
    I kind of felt a disruption in the poem's movement.
    Final Thoughts
    There really wasn't anything in the theme for me to relate to, because I'm not a swimmer, nor do I really enjoy the ocean, but
    You really grabbed a hold of me, regardless.
    It's generally not so easy for me to enjoy poetry unless I relate to it.

    I think you simply captured the beauty of passion, and did it in a very simple and slightly abstract way.
    A very applaudable piece!

    Thanks! I think when I say 'Know' that was a typo. It doesn't even make sense without the 'ing'. xD And while I love the water, I rarely swim. It's been 9 years since I've properly been to the beach (and I'm only 16). xD This was an experiment to see if I could write passion for something I personally didn't connect with.

==Princess of the Sword==

Chapter 3

Dri focused on the glass sphere that relaxed in a velvet cushion, the creak of the bow dispelled the suffocating silence, his lips tightened into a thin line as he drew it back and his green eyes sharpened. A sigh escaped him as he relaxed the bow.

“No.” he breathed, disappointment soured his face, “not good enough....
