Where You Lead (Swap Quatrain )

by Cindy   Oct 6, 2009


Where you Lead

Let's run away make our escape
Shut the doors , close the drapes
In each others arms we'll stay
Make our escape let's run away

Hide me from this painful life
Have love erase all our strife
Where your smile is all I see
From this painful life hide me

My soul will go where you lead
Life full of happy times all we need
Forever together hearts aglow
Where you lead my soul will go

    Everythings all good here. You had a pretty well rhymed stanza, and nice word usage. Your only errors is to take the ' out of Let's. Add a comma behind "away, others, and escape". That's it. Good Job.

    Hide me from this painful life
    Have love erase all our strife
    Where your smile is all I see

    Perfectly written. Excellent. Put a comma behind life. That's it. Great.

    My soul will go where you lead
    Life full of happy times all we need
    Forever together hearts aglow
    Where you lead my soul will go

    Great write. You just need to add a comma behind "together" in the third stanza, and another one behind "lead" in the last line.

    This poem was beautiful my friend. I loved it. You had minor erros, but this one deserves to be perfect. Nicely written. 5/5
