Hearts are like smoke, there's no way to catch them, no way to make them stay, and no way to make them leave

wow :) what else can i say? it's beautifully written and the content is soo deep. i love the metaphores you used to describe the heart. it's just an awesome piece. i don't think it's too short, because you said almost everything important about the heart as smoke! :) it's amazing...5 stars :) check out some of my work if you could, i would really appreciate your comments

This poem is extraordinary not to mention well written. It gives me a new perspective on love and how you can't make on love you like when you said "no way to make them stay". This poem also compares smoke and the heart well. This poem had an amazing emotional feel. Good job with this poem and keep writing poems. I hope to see more of your work soon.

This poem uses good phrases to describe how the heart is like smoke, but it is a little to short and could describe the heart a little better.
