Hello BlondeCalliBabe:
Many times a student may solicit help on a pending submission for a class homework project. Everyone has to start somewhere. The fact that you have attempted the creative development of a poem of heartfelt emotion and love is a good thing.
Hopefully, the following adjustments, which will not rewrite the poem . . . will push you in the direction of refining it, carefully eliminating unnecessary words and creating a better word flow and clarity.
In the repetition stanza one and four consider different options as:
You're the boy I think about when I am down
The one who puts similes on my face
When no one else does
The one who is always on my mind
The one and only boy I truly love
The boy who gives me butterflies that flutter within
In stanza two:
You're the only boy I've cared so deeply about
I dream about you every night
And when I don't it's a nightmare
Because I must do without
Some people say I'm sprung over you
I think not so for,
I'm just deeply in love with you
Stanza three needs a lot of work: - eliminate excess words - better clarity and flow.
Stanza four is a repeat of one . . . in whatever changes you decide is best.
Writing from the heart and depths of the soul will help to produce a well written piece, for it is the emotion of the magic of the right words that relays, entices and keeps the reader reading.
Use the above adjustments to get you going. Please note the difference in tone of the piece and flow in the little done.
Rewrite and tweak your love poem until it feels right and sounds good.
