Spider

I dance for you
My tip toe blue
I dance as long as you love me too

Lace worn black
None that lack
All the time I could turn back

Hearts strained out
Scream out loud
Lovelorn souls without a doubt

Flickering flame
Give love a name
I'll never forget the night you came

Lay me down
Wipe my frown
Fall down slow as I watch you drown

Frozen tears
All my fears
Clockwork lovers screwed up gears

Hurt by snow
Watch blood flow
Breathe soft as you watch me go

I loved it. The rhyme pattern was forced and it didn't flow, but I loved the words.

Althought I really hate rhyming poetry, this was fairly decent.

I had a bit of difficulty with the flow, however; and the rhyming was kind of cliche.

It has potential, though!

Good job.

I dislike that pattern of rhyme typically, not because it's a bad pattern, but because most poets don't use it correctly. You did have a fairly decent attempt though. This is excellent when spoken, but somewhat dull when read, alot of poets write in the reverse of that so thats something to feel unique about.



I dance for you

The last line would have been better without the too. It would have had a nicer flow as well, but I wouldnt change it because then the whole poem wouldnt have the pattern.

Lace worn black
None that lack
All the time I could turn back

that stanza lacked a concept.

Hearts strained out
Scream out loud
Lovelorn souls without a doubt

but you got back to your subject here, and I like the rhyme.

Flickering flame
Give love a name
I'll never forget the night you came

Good job staying on the subject, and at the same time adding to it. I liked it.

Lay me down
Wipe my frown
Fall down slow as I watch you drown

Wow, the last line has power, although the second line seems a bit weak. It's hard to think of words to fit your rhyme, but I think you could reword that to compliment the last line.

Frozen tears
All my fears
Clockwork lovers screwed up gears

That last line was lovely... well actually it was pretty deranged, but in the case of poetry thats a good thing Fizz

Hurt by snow
Watch blood flow
Breathe soft as you watch me go

That was a nice ending to the poem, the "watch me go" part could symblize a 'spider' crawling away so it related to your over all theme quite nicely.

I think you should try some free verse, because there is no doubt that you're talented with metaphors.

hmm... now that I read it again- and yes, I did read it again XD- I want to make a small suggestion.

Hurt by snow
Watch blood flow
Breathe soft as you watch me go


The last line lacks flow & I think it would do better if you added 'so' in between 'Breath' & 'soft' just to add another syllable.

Breath so soft as you watch me go


That's just my opinion, but without it, it's still beautiful, as I said.
