How do you feel about this?

This is my poem.....please tell me what you think about it?

Familiar

In the background of my mind

there lays a hope

In a life of yesterday

I kneeled as a pope

A High Priestess in a gown

flowing and white

with a dove on my shoulder

waiting to take flight

In another dream

engulfed by the sun

looking back at an army

I had no choice but to run

Holding onto a baby

so mighty and strong

running from the truth

what I knew all along

In a foreign country

scared for my life

I'm not sure how I got there

just that there was strife

Knocked back into the present

I repented of all wrong

folding my hands in prayer

I knew it would not be long

Slipping into my death

to start another dream

A baby is born

in her eyes that same

    I do like your poem, I think you need to change it slightly only because some of it is rhyming and some isn't. I think if you spend a little more time on it and make the rhyming consistent it will make your poem even better.

    As you read it just make sure it bounces along at the same tempo if you get my meaning. It makes a poem easier to read in my opinion.

    Great content and theme, with a little more work, this poem has real potential.

    This is only my opinion and of course you might love it just the way it is, which is great. I also write poetry and often the only person it makes sense to is me. I like to share it to get other peoples opinions, sometimes I take into consideration their comments and make changes if I think it will improve it, and other times I think it is perfect just the way it is.

    Keep writing.
