unique style of poem?

Question

My girlfriend told me my poems are "Different" and are "Blank Verse with Rhyme" does that mean its a good thing or a bad thing? was she just trying to tell me my poems suck lol? I wrote it in like 2 minutes so don't criticise, just wanna know if I am writing poems wrong or what.

As I gaze upon the stars tonight
my heart wanders back to a time long ago
to a time where I am still holding you tight
to a dream where I never let you go
together we lay under the starlit sky
our hearts beating as one undying soul
we promise to never say goodbye
we promise to never let go
seems so peaceful here tonight
under the stars here with you
I wish we could erase the night
that our lives were cut in two
the night when you had to leave
the night you told me goodbye
that cold rainy night I believe
was the first time you saw me cry
as the sun rises, the night slowly flees
there are only a few stars left in view
but that's enough for me
enough to lead my heart back to yo

Answer 1

You're doing something that a lot of novice poets do: writing song lyrics. Music is the last refuge of amateur Romanticism, apparently. As poetry, these lines are maybe slightly nonstandard or aberrant, but as lyrics to a song they're completely typical.

So I guess this means you should learn to play guitar.

Answer 2

It is not necessarily a uniques style of poem writing. it's very similar to how songs are mapped out. I don't think your girlfriend was telling you that you suck, though.
Try researching a restrictive form of writing and use that. It only restricts the more tangible parts of the poem. Some find that the more rules there are, the more creative they can be.

Answer 3

as a poet myself I find that blank verse is the best- there are not so many restrictions, it allows for more creativity. Your poem is okay, it has pentamener which is good, but the rhyming words are redundant. However considering the time you wrote it in, it's excellent. You, based on this poem are a romantist- try searching Neruda's works.

Answer 4

That's a good thing. I think so anyway, you write like I do. With no real structure but some how it all comes together. (Really good poem by the way.)

Answer 5

your awesome it doesn't matter what "Style" everyone (who writes poems) writes poems differently! I loved that poem. i wrote a long song bassically yelling at myself and stuff in like 2 minutes of my anger

Answer 6

I, personally, think it is just simply gorgeous! I don't know what your gf meant by those things, but if it means anything I think it is sweet.
