A Paper Heart

 

I write my heart on paper 'tis thinner than autumn leaves and these tears I cannot taper to put my mind at ease my delicate heart surrendered for a true love I wanted to share showing emotions tendered proving how much I cared I write my spirit to the winds and tho~the ink has dried my soul sealed in sadness descends for this paper heart has died

I missed your poems while I was away this one reminded me why. Great job Fran Marie.

Lovely work. So sweet and sad.

Beautiful.

Yep, that's about it. Your words are fragile yet hide a hidden strength. Great imagery. Well done.

Beautifully crafted words and meter.

The rhyming here feels really natural, unlike a lot of other poems I've read, so kudos on that. One thing: why did you write "and tho~ the ink"?

But other than that, I love it.

I truly love this poem, there isn't much I can say and nothing bad that come's to mind. Great job.

I'm not sure about the word 'tis in the first stanza, it doesn't seem to gel, maybe? But the third stanza is genuinely beautiful. Seriously. Wow.

[Lydia Blackwell]

this is completely lovely. great job with the prose. It is done in a classical style but I think holds more emotion than the classics, even.

Oh so melancholic... But lovely. It's tender and light but piercing in its final and firm tone... Great job :)
