Love Left Unanswered

Wow, the technicalities of your poem are great. I don’t com across something like that often.

I really enjoyed it, but the ending was rather sudden. Maybe you could consider putting one more verse in there, about his feelings perhaps? It would follow his feelings of doubt and confusion in the rest of the poem very well

Hello readers, welcome to OCpoetry. This subreddit is a writing workshop community -- a place where poets of all skill levels can share, enjoy, and talk about each other's poetry. Every person who's shared, including the OP above, has given some feedback (those are the links in the post) and hopes to receive some in return (from you, the readers).

If you really enjoyed this poem and just want to drop a quick comment, to show some appreciation or give kudos, things like "great job!" or "made me cry", or "loved it" or "so relateable", please do. Everyone loves a compliment. Thanks for taking the time to read and enjoy.

If you want to share your own poem, you'll need to give this writer some detailed feedback. Good feedback explains from your point of view what it was like to read the poem, and then tries to explain how the poem made you feel like that. If you're not sure what that means, check out our feedback guide, or look through the comment sections of any other post here, or click the links to the author's feedback above. If you're not sure whether your comments are feedback, or you have any other questions, please send us a modmail.

Your first and second para are written so well. They make for a funny and engaging narrative. My least favourite, and perhaps most confusing was the fifth one. Your previous paragraphs had a certain rhythm going for them, which effectively breaks when it comes to the fifth. Also, there are occasions where the words seemed to have been chosen forcefully even if they don't rhyme. Like concealed/automobile, jewel/fool, Ruby/beauty etc. A gentle suggestion.... first pick out a few pairs of rhyming words that do not look forceful and fit into the theme/structure of poem that you have going on in your head. Then structure the sentences around the words. It works for me. Some sentences also stand out rather awkwardly here. For e.g: "All this time, I was a fool?" could have been read better as "All this time, was I the fool?"

Overall, this is a clever theme for a poem, and the beginning had a very nice storytelling flow going on. The end was a bit abrupt, but I liked it nonetheless. Keep writing!
