To many words unsaid
Sweet kisses, unshared
Sunny days, ful of rain
where joy lays next to ...pain,

And all I gotta do is one step,....
but I'm holding back, I'm to affraid

so things stay the same,
cold...
undone
unsaid
withheld
off hold.

A good poem but the spelling errors bring it down to a 7/10. You should re-read it and correct them to gain an 8/10 from me.

It's alright. It isn't structured very good but I am sure you read it one way while others read it another. I have even made the mistake of writing poems to my own little tunes that only I could imagine but poems are best when everybody can figure out the tune themselves or in the least, make their own up.

Unsaid and unshared do not end the same way but they both start with "un". I suggest you reorganize those lines so instead of ending with those words, you start with them.

Sunny days, full of rain
where joy lays next to ...pain


the "..." is an inturuption. I can see how in your own mind you made that work with the rest of the poem but this is the part where the tune of the poem is heard only by you and not so much everybody else.

If I could restructure the poem myself I would change the first part into something like this:

Unsaid are the words
Unshared, our kisses
Sunlit days of rain
Where joy lingers next to pain.

Sorry if I seemed to bash down your poem. Though it could be better, you show great potential. Please comment me under my profile if I helped or not or if I was being too much of a critic.

Please share some more of your poems as well. Looking foreword to seing what else you have.

I am not getting away from the fact it is good i'm merely saying the presentation isn't as good with bad spelling.

This is a good poem but there are spelling errors such as full so I would give it a 7/10.

For now on, do not judge poems on their spelling. You have no clue how annoying it is to see people focusing on the spelling more than the poem itself.

I have said though NoNameC68 that the poem is good but I rated 1 less for the presentation. It is nice criticism so that she can improve.

Hello!

Thank you all so much for your thoughts on this very poem. This poem means so much to me, u gotta know. I am thankful for every critic and every compliment. "NoNameC68".... I want to thank you for your open words, your critic and your motivation to try harder. To be honest, I don't so much like the way you tryed to turn my poem into your words. Somehow it has turned the meaning round, at least for me. I know I am just at the beginning and it's not yet complete.
tell me what u think about this one here:

Words unsaid
Sweet kisses unshared

Sunny days so ful of rain
Where joy lingers next to pain.

I know,
All I gotta do is,... one step
But I guess I'm to affraid
My intentions may slip away
The moment I see you
face to face.

so things just stay the same
...
cold
undone
unsaid
withheld
unshared
off hold


hm, when I read the lines of this poem I am still missing that special something that made me write this.
I feel it inside, but i ain't got the words that may descripe it best. U all need to know english isn't my mother toungue.
So thank you all once again,...

Here is one more, just wrote it under a minute, lol. check this out:

Between A and Z
are the words in my head.
Words I got teached from
birth till death.

So straight,
that's how they're made.

A billion words and names,
But sometimes I can't find the right words to express the way I feel
So many words exist
but then I find myself speechless
struggle for words,
struggle for a gesture
that may best express how I feel.
I realize,... there has to be find a new language for moments/ emotions like this,...

I think you would do better if you didn't try to force the rhyme. I think you would do better with a style that was more free formed.
