this has a great, evocative feeling to it.

Not sure I understood its context entirely, but that's the good thing about poetry. It doesn't depend so much on "understanding'' as feeling.

good one. keep going...

Sounds like your forever the wing-man, Grunty!
Enjoyed your quips about your writing for someone else.
I think we all do in a way, it's like a poetic advice column that is produced here. People read it apply it, review it, sometimes use a word now and then in another piece and it becomes a recycled love story poem about something else. You seem to have a little different view of life and I like how you talk about in your work.

Wow! This is a really cool piece. My favorite part is your theme and message. Thoughts are strange devices especially when they have a mind of their own. Also, I took pleasure in your unique and creative word choices. Great stuff here. Your words build up well a description that flows excellently with the meaning. Thanks for writing and sharing this poem with us all!

Well it seems to me,
like I'm always writing
somebody else's lovesong.

That is because you try naturally to hide your lovely inner sweet child that knows how to love, well written a nice piece in which shines the light of honesty, well done, Simon.

This is honest and well written.

I write her the words,
if she read(s) she'd believe
the wonderful things you say.

Perhaps she would just like to hear what you have to say? It's true that love is particular.

"If only for me,
all the things that I see
get better when viewed with thought"

Yes, if only by thinking it, we could effect change. Wouldn't that be amazing! Cheers, Jack

This is a very pretty free verse poem. I believe that you should've said "if she'd read," instead of "if she read."
Good job.

Great poem.Loved the third stanza,"I never did try to be anything less when I'm nothing more than me." Well stated, a very well thought out poem. But when one becomes serious about poetry one should consider the use of images as well as poetic devices. The idea is to paint the picture in words in order for the reader to visualise certain images. Poetic devices such as alliteration, personification, metaphors and similes all contribute to the character and richness of the poem. Hope to see more! Best wishes.
