Things I Love About You

By John

 

Your smile,

So bright, it dazzles the sun

Your eyes,

So beautiful, even Aphrodite gets jealous

Your hair,

Floats like vapor in the wind

Your voice,

Like a stream that flows into my heart

Your hands,

So tender, whose caress I miss

Your arms,

I miss having them around my neck, holding me close to you

Your sense of humor,

Most of all,

I love everything you are

 

no flames please, just some constructive criticism and stuff.

This isn't bad at all--it might be considered a tad sappy from the poetry world, but I know I would love someone to send something like that to me. I like writing poetry, so I'll help you out wiht that line. What's your gf's sense of humor like? Is she always cracking jokes, making you smile? Or is she nonchalant and sarcastic?

Yeah, sappy can be good... mine tend to get pretty emotional but nothing so... well... direct let's say.

 

It's hard for a girl to appreciate a poem about her when she doesn't understand it. So your direct references are a good thing... unless she's a big poetry buff. Then you might want to allude more and tell less.

 

Hope this helps.

then how about something like:

 

When I see you, it just brightens up my day

Everytime I think of you I can't help but smile

You've brought the sun into my life again

 

Or something like that? I know it doens't exactly go along with the rest of your poem, but I'm sure you could find a way to incorporte it in. Good luck!
