It was Worth a Shot

by Pat Secord   Apr 12, 2007


Words cannot express
the way I feel for you
the sun the moon the stars
gleam not as bright as you

Now I know I have no chance,
and I know i will not succeed
but to chance a losing hand
is not a waste to me.

If only there was a way to make you see
all the things that you make me want to be
If I told you that you inspire me
would you believe me?

If I told you that you make me want to be a better person
would you care?

Well here I am telling you now,
I know I'm on a losers end no doubt
but if fate is fate and truth is truth
then truth is I love you
but will fate let you love me too?

Written for that one special girl!

    Excellent write, I liked it. The flow was ok, needs some work; The structure was good, however; there are a few mistakes through out the poem.

    This line, \"is not a waist to me.\" should be changed to, \"is not a waste to me.\" You used the word, \"waist\" which is a body part of the human body, therefore; the right word to be used would be, \"waste\"

    Also, this line, \"If only there was a way to make uyou see\" you mispelled the word \"you\" you typed, \"uyou\"

    Another thing, when writing poetry you usually don\'t want to use slang terms such as, \"wanna\" unless you are writing an slang poem. Instead of using, \"wanna\" use, \"want to\" It makes you look more intellegent as a writer and poet.

    Now, you have the first 3 stanzas with 4 lines, the 4th stanza has 2 lines, and the last stanza has 5 lines. When writing a poem, you usually want to keep it persistent through out the poem, therefore; making all the stanzas have 4 lines, try not to break it up like that, it throws off the flow of the poem.

    Other than those small details, I thought this was a well thought out poem. Great Job and keep up the great work.

    Peace, Joe
