I hope this is helpful. It is always hard to correct poetry since a lot of the normal rules of language are bent and broken deliberately. In english we call this "poetic license" (o que significa "permissão para partir as regras de gramática se serve o efeito do poema")


The first time I tried to write a poem in English I hope you like it ;)

Bitter Ink

Stars are blind
Tonight
Like devils
In the sky
And I undress
My disguise
The sun
Goes down
On the apple
Of my eye

Bitter-sweet roses
Hold me
Like ivy
I could fly
High*
Nothing more
Is necessary


Stars are blind
Tonight
Like hells
In paradise
And I** was
Almost sour
Since the first sight
I forgot
The hours
That the universe
Won’t supply

* Existe uma palavra "highly" mas não é simplesmente o forme adverbio de "high" (ao menos não no forme em que estas a usar). Os pássaros não podem "fly highly". Or in english: "the word "highly" does exist but is isn't simply the adverb form of "high" (at least not in the way you are using it). Birds can't "fly highly". It is usually used to indicate a height of achievement. For example, "he is the most highly-decorated soldier in the army" or "He is a highly-skilled hacker" or "This snake is highly dangerous"

**=Maybe I am a philistine to change "i" to "I". After all, if it was good enough for e.e. cummings, it should be good enough for you! http://blog.oxforddictionaries.com/2012/10/a-disappearing-poet-of-always/  ;^)
