another poem

I'm too tired for forms/rhymes so I wrote a free verse poem.
I accept any c&c with no hard feelings. Thanks.

It's a bit repetitive for emphasis. It's not related to me in some way... But could be useful for future situations

"Empty Love"

Empty streets,
Empty houses,
Empty hearts,
Empty because of love.

Empty minds,
Empty souls,
An empty entity,
All empty because of love.

I am empty,
I am empty,
I am empty,
Empty because of love.

Your love,
Your love,
Your love is all I want,
Your love is all I need.

Empty,
Empty,
Empty,
All I need is your love.

But you gave to me
Empty love.
Why does everything
Have to be empty?

Empty love,
Your empty love.
Please show me your love,
All I need is your real love.

Re: another poem

The word "empty" sounds really funny now... like something from Winnie-the-Pooh... @.@

Anyway, as a fellow poet, I found the poem a little too repetitive. There are many other ways besides repetition to add emphasis, such as metaphors and adjectives. Try different things, and find words that give you the feelings you're trying to invoke and bring to the readers' minds. (For example, is it the emptiness of a container that once was full, or something that has never been filled? Is it a dry riverbed type of feeling, or a lonely person watching everybody else pass by?)

Keep writing! Good luck!
