Bleeding Hearts..




With my last breath, I'll love you till the end;
physical realm our love will transcend
riding waves, ebb & flow enchanted ocean
moving together with harmonic motion
connection too mystical to comprehend

        on crisp white sheets  our love we penned
        bleeding hearts, our words a unique blend
        expressing affection, easing commotion
        with my last breath

sensual words loving notes we did send
spirits flexible, sailing around the bend
entwined bodies rocking in slow motion
declaring our love , endless devotion
celestial heavens, stars & moon I ascend
with my last breath

  6. This is a beautiful, sensual, romantic poem as it stands - so kudos for that, but ...

    I honestly think it could be better. With a little attention to the meter, you could make this good poem great. What do I mean? Your first line is fabulous; perfect iambic pentameter; 10 syllables in the line with all the stresses as expected. The second line has 12 syllables; if the first line were to end with a semi-colon you could remove the redundant word 'above' (transcend means to be above, to eclipse, to be greater than) and your second line would then be pentameter too. There are a number of other minor alterations, mostly about meter, that I could suggest.

    Please take this as critique, which is neutral at worst and intended to be helpful - that's what I intend - at best, not criticism, which has collected too many negative overtones to be constructive.

    This is already a lovely poem; you've chosen an excellent rentrement/refrain and you've nailed the rhyme scheme of the rondeau, which are by far the two hardest parts of writing to this form.

    1. Good Morning,

      First, I thank you for the prompt this form is a bit hard for me as I get caught up in the rhyme scheme of the rondeau and forget about meter. I can def see what you are saying. I altered the first, line to see the impact and I have to agree with you. It makes a stronger statement.

      I thank you for taking the time to leave me some constructive feedback as this will help me in my writing. Who doesn't want
      to pen a great poem? Smiling have a great day!

  11. Look at you rhyme away
    The cat likes that at your bay
    And wow hips will sway
    As two hearts surely play
    Such a love that transcends all
    Hopefully that ship hears your call
    I think it might have though
    But what does the cat know
