"My Message"

I'd rather hold your hands
than still live in a meaningless life.

Right now, the evening-sky sparkles
like your eyes, full of life.

And this heart of mine,
thhuds and thuds.

Never have I counted the beats,
for they are for-ever beating.

I never knew your name or
have talk to you.

but this feeling of mine
will be sent.

Not by mails, or e-mails, or
phone.

That sky right there, will
send it, with its glorious lights,
knowing you that I'm waiting.

But now, i have to say
goodbye.

For the sky is dissapearing,
never you dare think that
I won't wait.

    I need to think on this

    I need to think on this poem before I can really comment on it since you are submitting it for a contest entry. And I'm not really qualified to give great insight on corrections here, but I do have some advice: use spell-check. You have several mispelled words. Too many h's in thhuds in the 3rd stanza. Forever is one word in the 4th stanza. In the 5th stanza, I think it would sound better to write, "I never knew your name or have I talked to you." The 8th stanza sounds alittle awkward. In the 10th stanza, disappearing is spelled as shown here. I hope this helps and I wish you the best of luck. Go get them and win this one! I hope you take these suggestions as such and not personally. You asked for help because you wanted to win the contest and I sincerely hope you do! A fellow writer -- Birdie Stringfellow
