The idea of the poem is good. But format of the poem is like a story in verse. It is not rhymed. It is not recommendable. The poet needs to improve on the poetic format.

Hi Darren, Misspelled the word "heart" and I'm not sure why you entered a 5-7-5 contest with this one. It doesn't fit the category or rules. The write itself is pretty good if not a little incoherent. Nice try. xoxo Kiwi

It is a lot of great ideas, but as a poem itself, it needs a lot of revision, creating flow, rhythm , better meter.

Its great you tried to use stanza's. If this was a free verse,. you don't need them to be separated.

you could use metaphors to express your feelings. E.g. instead of saying i am sad try (winter swirls within ne,

Also 5'7'5 is layered out as such,

1st stanza = 5 syllables
2nd stanza = 7 syllables
3rd standza = 5 syllables

Regards
Tia

    Any competition where you win real money of $100 are free entry.
    those like prompts and challengers give you fanstory credits you have to pay 5.00 credits to participate and 6.55 credits to re-post for 2 days. As the initial 5.00 you pay only gives 2 reviews...sigh

Your poem has too many lines.
Sorry I had to abandon the read because this is not to the required format.
You will not shape in the contest.
This is a three line poem required.
It must have 5 syllables not words in the first line.
7 syllables not words in the second.
It must have 5 syllables in the last line
Let me try to help you.
It is a 5-7-5, haiku and senryu format, Ok:
Example:
I love you so much = 5 syllables
My love for you is extreme = 7 syllables
Much is love for you = 5 syllables
Three lines only you see
Every = 3 syllables e=1 ve=1 ry=1 total = 3
Now do not give up go and edit it.
Take your time to figure it out do not rush Ok.
Before you post a poem read the rules carefully and abide by those rules.
Once you have edited it reply to me.
I shall re-review it for you.
If you do not understand tell me in your reply Ok,
I shall try to help you further

    You must follow the format and rules of the contest and I am not being funny or hard on you. I actually explained every thing to you so that you understand the poetic requirements old sport.
