Welcome to Gaia! ::

This poem is nice because it was written to remember something good. When I write poetic memories, it's always just my thought pouring out about something horrible and that's the way the poem turns out, horrible. But, when you write about something you loved, it turns out just that, lovely. Very good. It could use a bit more structure, but, I loved it.

I liked it. It created a good image, and it's cool that you wrote about something that actually happened, because a lot of people can't do that, and would have to make something up instead, to have it sound cool enough. I liked this line especially, because it gives a very good idea of what it was like:
She makes my arms cuddle her
Like I would put up any fight
I also liked the ending, the way it ended with a couple simple words that mean a lot.

Thank you, the only reason it is in that order is because in real life, we were standing together under the stars (she had a real big thing for the stars), she said she was freezing, (not gonna lie, I was pretty cold myself, but I didn't show it), and she leaned against my body for warmth. We kind of stood there for a few minutes, then she took my hands and wrapped them around her. We litteraly stood there for an hour and a half, maybe 2 hours.

Could I maybe get 1 more critique please?

Might I just add that you should DEFINITELY keep the first line where it is, as is?

You might want to cut the last two lines just to make the poem have a distinct beginning, middle, and end.

Reason being- well, have you read Virginia Woolf? Her stream of consciousness- 's all in the head; your first line becomes the paramount image in our heads, and then it makes more sense as a story to start warm and end cold (putting simplistically). Besides, if she's gone you're obviously going to be alone so you're just repeating yourself in the last two lines. Don't worry about abruptness- it's far worse to waste words because you bore your audience. It's like accidentals in music. You don't WANT to create a nice image at the end. Abruptness catches attention, and that's what will make people stop and stare.

...since this was the only decent poetry posted in the past week... *growls* does anybody around here excluding you post poetry that ISN'T teenage, emo, unstructured and misspelled?

I liked this very much. The fact that it was actually a real memory helped to make the poem seem that much more real to the reader. The rhythm was a little off in a couple of areas, but it wasn't anything big. Then again, I'm so used to writing and reading rhyming poetry that has very structured rhythms that a more free form poem such as this one takes me a bit to get used to. Regardless, it was a wonderful poem. Congrats on a nice piece.

I don't have anything to critique, so I'll just come out and say it . . . I loved it.
