True Love

 

 

True Love is a dangerous thing.

 

 

It can thaw the coldest heart, spark a revolution that can

 

destroy a tyrant

 

 

Whisper hope to tired souls in dark corners of neglect and

 

 

shame.

 

 

Red roses quiver, the passion etched in poetic verse can draw

 

 

                     two unknown hearts into becoming

 

 

Great Lovers.

 

 

 

True Love is a dangerous thing.

Very good imagery. But can you think of more? It seems almost like there is more that can be done and even though the last line does close the poem well, the middle seems a bit weak. Not the imagery or content, i think to me its the lenght. there could be more added to make the poem feel more complete. Also I am not understanding the line breaks. It seems to disrupt the flow and takes away from the beautiful imagery that you have.

Full of passion and intense emotion. I like the line, "True love is a dangerous thing." Rings in my mind. I don't think you necessarily need to expound on more, as they say here, because sometimes shorter poems appeal to more people. Plus, with Haikus, I don't typically get into those, they are much shorter, but convey the message. I like this poem, it's well written, and its succinct, but deep.

thanks for sharing.

Great thoughts, but does it say enough? Dig deeper. They are your thoughts, present them well.
