IT’S SUCH A BEAUTIFUL DAY

I said you made me sad

I said that you’d been bad

I told you you made me mad

All these hard words I had

 

But today I’d like to say

I’d like to tell you if I may

All I really want to say

It’s such a beautiful day

 

With the passing of the seasons

I might understand your reasons

We could share epicurean pleasures

Maybe you’ll choose to give me some answers

 

Oh but that is not today

Today I’ll tell you if I may

All I really want to say

It’s such a beautiful day

 

So beautiful

 

It was so hard to let go

I tried and tried and tried yet no

I guess I just didn’t know how

Well I’m feeling much better now

 

I’m feeling good

 

And today I’d like to say

I’d like to tell you if I may

All I really want to say

Is I hope you’re having a beautiful day

Professor Purple, I

Think you have a nice poem with a lovely thought behind it. It is hard to wish someone well when love has ended between two people. Now…for the hard part. When we are learning, as poets, our creations are very dear and near to our hearts. It is not always easy to hear critics. I think it is really good for us to practice new and different rhyming patterns and styles, it helps us expand our talents. This one is very repetitious and I believe, if you are going to start it out in specific repetition, you should carry that pattern throughout the entire poem (aside from the 2 stand alone lines. I kind of liked those..unique thoughts aside from the body, in away) When we get down to the 3rd stanza & 5th stanza, your rhyme goes off. I know seasons can be difficult to rhyme with an appropriate word of pleasures…. So, you need to pick other words that fill the other lines or move the non-rhyming Line around till you find a way to get that rhyme! Since you have this very repetitive rhyme, some of the repetition in your lines is overwhelming. I believe theres places you can omit some of that.. like the I told you you mad me mad.. I told you I was mad. I’m adding some examples…just suggestions 1st stanza… ‘I said you made me sad I said that you’d been bad I told you I was mad These words were all I had’ and for stanza 5… ‘With the seasons passing fluctuations I might understand your motivations We could share epicurean conversations Perhaps you’ll give some explanations’ You can still have the same meaning..but find something that continues your pattern. I have a few more ideas if you are interested, p.m. me I would be happy to help. Always Sincere, Tonya

Professor Purple: I think as I live life unto itself my friend. To the truth I hate fluff poetry. Understanding the poems I place quill to parchment are harsh to many minds. I will never write fluff yet I find this piece of quill placed to parchment is well done. Five thousand stars and a brake to a wave of the lady the sea I say. Good luck and Gods speed to the next. Sakkkkkkkkkkkkkkk.
