Poetry / The Day You Were Born

                                    

                  When you born the angels wept
                  They knew your soul couldn’t be kept

          They  kissed your brow and sent you on your way
          To be with us this Christmas day

          The heavens did open and let it pour
         To welcome you to earths front door

        The stars did shine so big and bright
        To help you see all through the night

      The day you were born I wept for joy
     For there had never been a lovelier boy

     Your face was perfect and sweet as could be
     I knew that you were meant for me.

That was really great! Nice wording and lovely rhyme scheme. Very Unique style going on there as well. That is so awesome. I wish you could rate above ten for some the criteria you have up there. I would easily rate 15 instead! This is a really deep and heart warming poem. People who read this and see it for what it is should definately feel it in their souls. Keep up the great writing!

I enjoyed this peice. It seems as if there is a little irony or something in here. You started out with the angles wept. Then at the end, you said you wept. I like how you keep it down to earth(makes me laugh about the angles if you get what I am saying..) and made it realistic. The angles were sad, you were happy. Showing that nothing can be perfect. With every prize comes a price. I hope you like my review!

  You have meter down, but lack punctuation.  You have beat down, but are far to wordy and rely on small filler words that take away from the poem.  It’s a very nice sentiment, but needs a lot of work.  
   Also, there is no need for such odd spacing.  This is a novice attempt and for rhyming poetry you are on the right track, but it is too simple, complicate it.  Poems succeed that cannot be summed up in less lines.

wow so beautiful like a little piece of ecstasy for my soul. as i read it it drew my mind to think about my beloved and  it expressed exactly how i feel for him. i feel alot of people can relate to  this poem especially those who are in love. i enjoyed how you space it out creating a poetic flow and a picture in my mind

This is very heartfelt and I can tell that your baby boy means a lot to you. However I’d like to see you work on it a little more, the first thing I noticed is that you misspelled “angel” in the 1st line. Overall the poem is a bit cliche, and perhaps a little droll. Try to spice it up a little, to avoid sounding like something my great grandma would needlework into a pillow.
