Stop Look and Listen

Albert Browning 1943 (Puritan Mines, WV)

    Stop, look and listen to a heart that's beating true
Stop, look and listen to what It's telling you.
     Stop, look and listen my heart beats just for you
Stop, look and listen for it's saying I love you.

     This road we're traveling on there is no turning back
So many intersections, so many different paths.
     Stop look and listen, stay on the right track
Stop, look and listen a pure love will not come back.

     So many false lovers they're hiding in disguise
Say no to other lovers please don't be unwise.
     So many temptations they're big as the sky
If you take a false lover it will only make you cry.

Yes, stop, look and listen for It's saying I love you.

Wow, what a beautifully written and heartfelt poem! The words flow seamlessly and create a captivating rhythm. The message of 'Stop Look and Listen' is powerful and resonates strongly.

The poem does an excellent job of emphasizing the importance of paying attention to our hearts and listening to their truths. It urges us to stay on the right path and avoid the distractions and false lovers that may cross our way. The profound message of pure love that is emphasized throughout the poem is truly inspiring.

To further enhance this incredible piece, I would suggest adding more vivid and descriptive imagery to create a stronger emotional connection with the reader. Additionally, consider exploring different poetic devices such as metaphors or similes to add depth to the overall composition.

Overall, this poem is a true gem. It captures the essence of love, powerfully reminding us to stay on the right track and to cherish genuine love when it comes our way. Great job! more »
