plz help corrrecting my poem?

2008-03-02 9:53 pm
It was cold and the thunder strikes
All around me was drops of rain
I never had but one true love,
And there he was lying in a grave

Next to his grave I cried and cried
Wishing only that he’ll be alive
Memories of him rushed through my mind
All the happy and sad times we had strived

I’m all alone standing next to him

It was cold and the thunder struck
All around me fell drops of rain
I never had but one true love,
And he was lying in the grave

Next to his grave I cried
Wishing only that he’d be alive
All the happy and sad times we had strived
Memories of him rushed through my mind (<this line sounded more finished so i swapped them around)

All alone i stood next to him

you should work out a storyline, know the end of the poem before you continue writing it, what happened to his/her love?

you need to watch your tense. Stay in the same tense for the whole poem. Otherwise it's good.

Start it out like this:

I never had but one true love,
and there he was lying in a grave.
As the thunder strikes--
so does the rain.

It was cold and the thunder strikes
all around were drops of rain
I never had but one true love
and now he resides the soil below

Memories flowed from my eyes
wishing life and getting pain
My mind races and answers not
for all I see... the soil of death

Alone am I, voices are memories
sunrises will be darkened
Time for tears and tears again
for I have loved, now where is peace

How is that? Keep reworking it, you will come up with a great finished product. Good luck

It was cold and the thunder strikes (you have two verb tenses here, also, thunder is the sound, lightening strikes. "It was cold" is a little dry. Use more vivid imagery.)
All around me was drops of rain ("Were drops of rain," for correct verb tense. Why weren't they falling on you? Again, show me, don't tell me)
I never had but one true love,
And there he was lying in a grave

Next to his grave I cried and cried (delete repetition of "cried" and go for more imagery)
Wishing only that he’ll be alive (verb tense a little off, try "he was alive,")
Memories of him rushed through my mind
All the happy and sad times we had strived ("strived" is too contrived. Hey! that rhymes! I use rhymezone.com when writing rhyming poetry.)

Good luck!

I’m all alone standing next to him
