Guten morgen! Ich bin Jessica and I'll be reviewing He Left Me On the Shore.
First Impressions:
This isn't bad, it has some nice imagery and I really like the emotions involved in He Left Me On the Shore... I could really feel this, like I was experiencing it.
Mechanics:
This isn't in poetry format... it's in prose format. I also found a lot of repetition and words that didn't need to be there.
>>He left me on the shore. He said he had loved me but no more. The love we once cherished is now in the grave. Our love perished and was replaced by a suffering-wave. Life has put me through much pain; I would be fool if I love again.
I gave him my heart. I gave him my soul because, I was him and he I was. I dreamt of the day where I would look at his face,my soul would leave me but my heart would surely stay in its place. Love is of heaven. Lucky to whom it was given. Parting does nothing but destroy , something in us of hope and joy.
Our story ended this month. Time will talk about it in decembers and I will remind if not remembers, that it wasn't we couldn't get along; our love itself was based wrong.
We parted...clear the reason why. He never loved me neither did I.<<
He left me on the shore, Said he had loved me but no more.
The love we once cherished is now in the grave,
Our love perished and was replaced by a wave (suffering makes it too long and unncessary).
Life has put me through much pain;
I would be fool if I love again.
I gave him my heart; Gave him my soul because,
I was him and he I was.
I dreamt of the day to look at his face, My soul would leave me; My heart would surely stay in its place.
Love is of heaven. Lucky to whom it was given.
Parting does nothing but destroy, Something in us of hope and joy.
Our story ended this month;
Time will talk about it in Decembers And I will remind if not remembers, That it wasn't we couldn't get along; Our love itself was based wrong.
We parted...clear the reason why.
He never loved me neither did I.
Other than that, it looks good.

Final Impressions:
