I Blew a Kiss

I looked into the starlit night, And blew a kiss into the sky. Sailing through the heavens t'ward My one true love, and softly sighed. I felt her light, a shooting star Pulsing back from o'er the Pole. I stood and watched with tear-stained eyes, As joy and sadness stirred my soul. Though hearts do ache and often long, The emptiness is not inside. Although she be not in my arms, I feel her warmth across the tides. I looked into the starlit night, And felt a kiss fall from the sky. Sailing through the heavens from My one true love, and softly sighed.

Beautiful poem Joe. Your imagery is jumping off of the page, with the sentiments of love, lost love - intertwined with a captive story. Best to you, no nits, just a very good well structured, enjoyable read. blessings, Deni

Joe, Yearning, longing for the love gone. It is unrequited love in your poem. Sad and yet joyful. Poignant! I felt the emotion in every word. And the ending was lovely. Everyone wishes someone felt that way toward them. A wonderful read... Dellena

Hi Joe, I'm happy to have the opportunity of critiquing this. You have certainly captured the emotion of longing very well in this poem. I would recommenD some fresher imagery or a more unique approach given that poems of love and longing tend to be written en masse by thousands of thousands of people !! Good job with the meter and rhyme !! Duane.

Hi Joe, This a beautiful poem about love. I think these type of poems are difficult to write as so many have already been done. Having said that, I find this one to have fresh verbiage, excellent rhyme and good word selection. You have been consistant with eight syllables per line and even though you have some lines with near rhymes they still sound good which is something I look for in a poem. Well done. Best Wishes, cheyenne
