		First of all, thank you for that poem. You might not consider yourself a poet, but I do feel that you've written down something personal here, and I really appreciated it.
I spotted a few minor errors in spelling/grammar, like in verse 5 line 5
Just add the 's' for "When life brings reprise"
And in stanza 6 line 2
I think 'jolly' is used kind of incorrectly here; the only time I've found it used as a noun is if you say 'jollies' rather than 'jolly' and I doubt that's the sense you want. I know replacing it with the correct noun form, 'joy', would wreck your internal rhythm, so you can try and replace it with another synonym, such as 'gladness'.
Hope this helps

Quote:When love gives goodbyes
I'll be at my best.
When happiness dies,
I'll feel unstressed.
When life bring reprise,
I won't feel oppressed.
It's the plans you devise
Which gives me unrest.
Just add the 's' for "When life brings reprise"
And in stanza 6 line 2
Quote:So let's go to war
With jolly and glee.

PS. If you can, try your hand at giving some of the others a bit of feedback. If you already have, thanks, can you do some more?
