Angel's Tears

an angel's sorrow made me weep
so dig a grave and dig it deep
cause just to hear you say, that's so sweet
I'd gladly fall six feet

and just to earn the
privilege of holding your hand
without a doubt I'd give up
my place in the promised land

cause you made my blood run cold and deep
for just the thought of you alone
is enough to make the devil weep

even though my heart is cold
as ice and hard as stone
the ice does melt
when we're alone

as does the stone
turn into sand
with just a touch
of your soft hand

and the darkness
within my soul does change to light
with just a look
from your eyes so bright

On this one I'll just mark the spelling errors that need fixing. To get you started, the title should read, Angel's Tears.

I'm sure I speak for most in the poetry community when I say many would be happy to help with poems. But the English fundamentals such as spelling are your responsibility.

Good luck with your efforts.

You've done quite well and corrected most of the mistakes; however, there are a few small details you've overlooked, details that most people would overlook in their own reading or writing. But you're not most people, you have a challenge to meet and overcome and the only way to do that is to demand perfection of yourself.

The title could be done in three different ways. If speaking of all the tears of all the angels you can leave it as Angels Tears. If, instead, you're speaking of all of the angels and their tears, it should be Angels' Tears. Or, as implied in the first line, you want to describe it as the tears of a single angel, then it should be Angel's Tears. This last is my own choice.

Angels Tears

In the first line you need to use the possessive in angel — the sorrow belongs to an angel — an angel's sorrow. Note: angel's could also mean angel is, depending on the context — confusing, isn't it?

an angels sorrow made me weep
so dig a grave and dig it deep

thats needs an apostrophe to make it a contraction of 'that is'. Preceding 'thats' you also need either an 'it' or another 'that' so it could read, you say that, that's so sweet.

cause just to hear you say thats so sweet
i'd gladly fall six feet ......i'd should be capitalized — I'd

and just to earn the
privlege of holding your hand .....spelling — privilege
with out a doubt i'd give up .....with out is a single word, without.....Also, i'd should be capitalized — I'd
my place in the promised land

cause you made my blood run cold and deep
for just the thought of you alone
is enough to make the devil weep

even though my heart is cold
as ice and hard as stone
the ice does melt
when we're alone

as does the stone
turn in to sand ......in to is a single word, into
with just a touch
of your soft hand

and the darkness
within my soul does change to light
with just a look
from your eyes so bright

You did a fine job in correctlng the most serious mistakes. Like I said at the top of this post, however, you need to strive for perfection. You do this one word at a time, one poem at a time.

Keep working on it and one day you'll be able to submit a poem for consideration and the poets here will tell you what's right or wrong with your poem, as a poem, without even being aware of the difficulties you've had to surmount.

Good Luck!

LeBroz, you're a jewel.


Wolfie, I'm really pleased and impressed to see you working so hard and having such a pragmatic and non-defensive attitude about your work.

Here are two exercises I'd like to suggest, in hopes that they'll help you become more flexible and more creative within your writing. Poets tend to do lots of "workout" exercises; ways to practice playing our scales so that when we write we've got the chops already in place. Most of the time one doesn't expect to glean a 'poem' out of every word one writes; about 90% of the words I put on paper never see the light of day; they're just practice.

So. Consider a couple of things.

First, rewrite this piece as prose, without the rhyme, just focusing on what message you're trying to get across. Read through it and imagine that you're actually saying it to someone. See how it feels being read aloud.

Second, take your favorite line or two out of this piece and use them as seeds to write an entirely new poem, or maybe two or three. Don't even think of it as "I'm going to write a poem now," just think in terms of doing some brainstorming and expressing yourself on paper.

I think doing stuff like this is a majority of the task of a writer - practice, practice practice. If at some point a jewel emerges from the mud, well that's cool, but mostly you just keep diggin'.

Good luck!

I am very new to this site but I have to say that I liked your poem very much. The two comments made are great ones. Take them in a positive way, They will take you far.

Maybe I will have the courage to write a poem here if I can get this type of critism.
