*BalloonR* Welcome to WDC from "Newbie Welcome WagonOpen in new Window.! *BalloonR*


First Response: Rough around the edges but with serious potential. Very well written in a subtle manner that is easy to like and accept.

Characters: The point of view narration is very relatable. Vague, but seems appropriate and organic.

Good Points:Emotional, the rhyme scheme is good. Some of the lines are rather exceptional, my favorite being the last "thhree little words that equal me and you" -powerful. The use of alliterations, such as "raging and racing" is well placed and reads nicely.

Suggestions:However, the sentence structure should be "you and I", not "me and you".
The line about, "hints you don't take, but hint here I do", needs to be punctuated or reworded differently.
Such as "Hints you don't take; but hint here, I do."
Punctuate the end of sentences to differentiate lines that end or continue into the next stanza. Such as..
"Only thoughts to think,
Racing and raging with no clear way.
Thinking of you, every moment, of every day."
Depending on punctuation, the flow can be however you see fit with them pausing appropriately and ending thoughts as you intended without having to guess.

Overall: Really good with a lot of potential and a strong underlying emotional effect. With just the punctuation and the few gramatical errors, could easily become a 4.0-5.0! Keep writing.
