Dear Travis Harms – Welcome to Writing.com. I am glad you are a part of this amazing writing community now. I enjoyed reading "Like a catchy song"  and thought I would give your poem a bit of a review.
 
  FIRST IMPRESSION
 
Some images are so linked to the passions we once had for another that they will remain forever. The sight of a shared moment or even a fragrance from someone near triggers the thoughts that can’t help but dance through the mind with no restraint, no boundaries. Like a tune that won’t exit gracefully, but hangs on…we easily entertain the memory and sometimes even choose to luxuriate in it.
 
  THEME
 
There was a woman. So feminine that she outranks all others in the mind of a poet. There is a struggle. And like one’s favorite song, the memories of her, a love, a mirage, an obsession, still haunts the male mind.
 
  STRUCTURE
 
The poem tells a story in nine lines of free verse. The flow and tone of the words are in accord with the subject matter of the piece.
 
  MY FAVORITE MOMENT
 
This was one of my favorite moments:
Reigns over my heart
Jumped inside my head
 
Man is able to deal with physical assault sometimes much better than what happens to the heart. There are many today who have enslaved themselves to an image on a screen or a magazine, who have never even had a real relationship that gives back some of the emotions spent. But there are those bonds that happen with a man and an exquisite woman and the choice is simple. When the memory of her returns, as it often will, don’t resist, let her have access to everything the mind can conceive of. Never again free.
 
  SUGGESTIONS
 
I enjoyed the words and images you have used to convey the theme of your poem. I would only suggest expanding it a bit more with a few tangible images. In particular I think some description of exactly what ultra-feminine looks like for the protagonist. Was she real? Imagined? Soft? Yielding? Temptress or playful? I think just a bit more texture, color, taste, smell and sound would help increase the appeal of the piece. Just a thought.

  IN SUMMARY
 
"Like a catchy song"  speaks of a past encounter with a beautiful woman who has now taken over every part of the poet’s imagination. And after the struggle to put her away somewhere in the past, how could he ever let her go? Nicely done. Write On!
 
I hope my thoughts and impressions have been a help. Let me know if you have any questions about my review.
 
Kind Regards,

♫~ Kenword~♫
