I wrote this at random on the bus. Inspired partially by the traditional wedding rhyme: Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue

I really do like this a lot, but I wanted to write a critique because I saw so many things that I do in my poems to.

First thing I noticed was the flow. Wile I was reading it out loud to myself it was a bit bumpy, and I was stopping now and then. This is a danger when you have longer lines. It's something harder to change now, but I would suggest in the future when you have longer sentences, for each line to rhyme instead of every other. For example, the first three lines of the poem.
"Something old, something new." I was expecting something to rhyme with new in the next line. By waiting till the third it's harder for the reader to make the connection between the words. I know when I write a poem I read it over so many times I almost memorize it, so in my head it flows very nicely, but when other people are seeing it for the first time it can be a bit choppy.

On another note How you opened the first stanza, and the third was very nice. " Something old, something new." "Something borrowed, something blue." it really made a nice connect and tied the beginning of the poem into that stanza. So much so I was expecting for that to be the end of the poem. I think it would make a better connection if the line "Something borrowed, something blue." was in the last stanza of the poem. It would be a good closing line. Putting it in the middle it's like an hour glass. You opened up the poem nicely, closed it in the middle, and then opened back up again.

Other then those two things I love the imagery you used, it was so rich and descriptive, full of great language. Especially the last two stanzas, those are my favorite. You really painted a scene with your descriptions and made a very clear mood to the poem. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)"/> Your a great poet, write on.

I hope that I helped some.
