opinions please

I would like to get into writing, but I would like some other peoples opinions and tips, on my writing, but not my grammar, and if i should or shouldnt pursue anything. I know i tend to stick to rhyming poetry, but i can write others. Here is some of my poetry, all opinions are appreciated.

Intro to Poetry
Poetry is the warmth of sand
poetry is a helping hand
poetry is a listening ear
poetry is an outlet for fear

Poetry is a chance for peace
poetry is a souls release
poetrys not just words on a page
poetrys not the creation of rage.

Poetry is the words the heart speaks
poetry is the things the soul seeks
poetry is written with care
poetry is a passionate prayer.

Silent Goodbye
The way we're born sets the way we die
not a single one could ever defy
You couldn't hold on i watched you try
You fought so hard but they made you comply

Memories are what i hold on to and fight
They say you wont come back but i think you might.
you were an angel such a beatuful sight
you were my hope and you were my light

All the flowers closed never telling me why
and the darkened clouds filled the sky
you left today never saying goodbye
does your earth shake
can you feel me cry.

If i could
If i could control it
the sun would shine for you
if i could control it
id make your dreams come true
all the problems in the world
but none belong to you
because id try my hardest
to make sure you never felt blue.
for you id make the stars
brighter every day
and the world would listen
to what you had to say
i'd make your eyes twinkle
they're teh window to your soul
and your smile would brighten
as you captured your final goal
for you id do anything at all
but its not up to me
this is your call.
if you decide that i wont do
ill find someone who's good for you
they would be an angel
who was sent from above
because there's no one on earth
deserving of your love.
