Photos

Photos tell no lies
Though they may fade away
They only tell the truth
It will always be that way

You may not believe them
But let it be true
That pictures save the world
They show what it can do

Pictures show emotion
By helping you remember
You will never forget
That they'll make things better

So when you're feeling down
And you simply cannot cope
Pick up your favorite photo
It will give you hope

    (i like how you used photos as your main concept, very original, but also simple too)

    I think that you ruined substance of this piece a little cause of rhymes, I personally don't like rhyming, and rhyming here seemed unnecessary, unoriginal and forced to me, that is just my personal opinion and I don't want to offend you at all but I dislike your rhymes.
    I think that you don't need second they in first stanza that left also negative impression on me.
    I don't like the fact that every stanza has in self word-photo- or word-picture- that also left bad impression on me.
    I think that you write nicely but you could improve your writing, I personally think that this poem would be much better with some metaphors or you could simply just expand your vocab, for my taste this poem is too simple and too clear.
    But sorry for being harsh that is my opinion, I appreciate your effort to write but I think that you have talent and that you must to use more creative ideas and more deeper thoughts, maybe to try something different from what you usually write.
    Of course if you are satisfied with your poems than who am I to tell you that I don't like them, this poem isn't bad, I read a lot of worse pieces but I think that you have that capability to write really amazing stuff but you should try to write more unique and challenging pieces. I read some of your poems and I saw that you really can express emotions on excellent way and here, I don't see any emotion.
