Thats so sweet. Isnt it sad how you spend you whole life looking for someone to love, and trying to keep their love for the rest of forever and never lose them. But no matter what you lose them in the end. No matter what..... \n\nLife is strange.

Wow, that is so beautiful.\nNo, it does not sound like a letter, it's definately a poem and it has a story somewhere in there. I wouldn't mind hearing it, i'm interested. I've written a few poems but they're not constructed well like yours is very well done. mine all have stories burried somewhere in them. How i came to writting whatever i wrote or what they're about.\n\nbest of luck, and keep on rolling\n~just a Youngling\n\nps. i chocked on a paperclip because that's how i roll

It is Nice and you have good ideas how ever work on your grammar and it is kinda choppy when reading a style that can be vary effective if used correctly how ever not vary fitting for a love poem. Keep up the hard work.

Email me your thoughts at pusskat1@yahoo.com and I will help you from there.  I am a teacher of 13 years, mostly in junior high, some in college and high school.  My payment is to choose this as a best answer.  \n\nI'll begin by deconstructing the poem; I'm sure you'll get the drift.  \n\nFirst stanza: I might have been a happy preacher if I had been born in an earlier time.  I could have preached fiery sermons and been a gentleman farmer.  Second stanza: Alas, I was born later, and missed my true calling.  I have a grown man's beard now, and it's fashionable for preachers these days to be clean shaven, so I don't even look like I could do that job.  \n\nGood luck.  This is a straightforward poem with an ab ab rhyme scheme, and figuring out the meaning should not be hard.  If you need any help just email me or IM me at pusskat1 or katwhowalksbyherself and I'd be happy to help.\n\nCheers, K (13 years a teacher)

Poetry is good.\n\nPoetry by Walt Whitman is good.\n\nThis reply to "your letter" is good.\n\nAny discussion about the meaning and intent of a poem's author is good. It would also be good to try to write a similar poem.\n\nWhat is it you are really asking? Are you the author of "your letter" or this reply?

You luuuuuv poetry thats for sure, to think of so much stuff is great. I like it however I find myself confused about the meaning. Are you making fun of passion or beeing coy? I think you are holding back! Don't be shy, there is alot of "passion" in your poetry. Don't hold back!

For me that is such a difficult question to answer.  I have so many favorites.  \n\nThe whole poem Desiderata is beautiful and profound.  Every line is special so I will quote only the last ones:\n\n"Therefore be at peace with God, \nwhatever you conceive Him to be,\nand whatever your labors and aspirations,\nin the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.\nWith all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,\nit is still a beautiful world.\nBe cheerful.\nStrive to be happy. "\n\nThen from High Flight by John Gillespie Magee we have:\n\n"Up, up the long delirious, burning blue \nI've topped the windswept heights with easy grace \nWhere never lark, or even eagle flew. \nAnd, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod \nThe high untresspassed sanctity of space, \nPut out my hand, and touched the face of God."\n\nFinally, I would refer you to a poem called Little Bateese by william Henry Drummond.  It is deceptively simple, but again profound.  It speaks of the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren, one of the things that really matter in life for sure.  There is nothing as special as the love of a grandparent and grandchild for each other.  The last lines of the poem are:\n\n"But leetle Bateese! please don't forget\nWe rader you 're stayin' de small boy yet, \nSo chase de chicken an' mak' dem scare\nAn' do w'at you lak wit' your ole gran'pere\nFor w'en you 're beeg feller he won't be dere--\nLeetle Bateese!"\n\nTranslation:  \nBut little Bateese!  Please don't forget\nWe'd rather you stayed a small boy yet\nSo chase the chickens and make them scared\nAnd do what you like with your old grandpere\nFor when you're a big fellow he won't be there -\nLittle Bateese!\n\nI get carried away with poetry!

I am not an 'expert' on poetry but then, who is? Poetry is a very personal thing. \nAs far as your poem goes, I think it is well formed and obviously well thought out. It seems to describe what a lot of people feel in this day and age, in that we can all take something from previous experiences and it is up to us whether that is positive or negative for us and the others involved. \nI am sure that someone else will see this poem completely differently from me but even if you get negative comments do not let that dissuade you from carrying on writing.

yes yes yes it is a-ok. \nA poem really is like a story. At least some are. I think that a poem can be as long as a regular book would be. I know that there are lots of books that are called "novels in verse" that are basiclly poems (at least that is my view on it). So, yes it is perfectly fine. But, if this poem is for a homework assignment I don't know if the teacher's view will be the same as mine. Hope it is. Merry Christmas!

You have very good meter. The words seem to roll effortlessly off of the tongue. KEEP AT IT. I love the rhymes. \n\nI also like the mood you set up with your words. To be very honest, your lyrics are much better than alot I have read. I am not just being nice, either.\n\nAs a songwriter/arranger/musician myself, it is refreshing to read a good piece of material. Like I said before, KEEP AT IT. Good job.\n\nPeace and chicken grease\nJon

the mood is one of satisfaction. the writer is saying that when you have a fence dividing you, it does not "divide" but it prevents.the tone, i guess would be the same. Why exactly are you reading this poem? i had to for a school project.
