A/N: This is a four by four (four poems by four lines) and so it seemed like a waste to put them all seperately, so it is a four by four. Hah, read on.

1: My only nightmare

The night can kill
with its sly grin.
What's innocence?
I've forgotten again.

2: Heaven and Hell
With death's angel looking above
and life's demon looking below,
they find an opposing force:
happiness.

3: The Meaning
We meet and touch
And push and punch
And miss and kiss

But we won't say love.

4: Whatever you say

Momma, Momma
can you admit
that I'm just that bad
or am I suddenly not your kid?

Spoiler
1: This one was really painful, but it's rather personal. I bet he forgot about me actually. Haha, *nervous laugh* So, if you read it again, you may understand now the title.

2: This one's based on a short story I wrote, but basically the rivals finding middle ground. Itms pretty deep if you think about it.

3: I love past relationships. They make such good poems.

4: Also called 'Passed off' but if you've gone through what I have, then you should understand. It's pretty straightforward actually.

You know, even though your meter was a bit off and the rhyming felt forced at times, I really enjoyed this. You took on a completely different style and you were very original with the way you presented it - there was a lot of powerful emotion hidden under subtle words and that felt like it was really appropriate for this particular piece. Keep writing, this was definitely worth reading and reviewing.
Being children of a cruel reality, we fall prey to the greater powers.
To envy.
To madness.
Betrayal.
Love.
And yet without these things, we cannot remain human. Without these things, we are nothing.
But it is the greatest sacrifice. To envy. To be mad. To betray. To love.
To be human.

The rhyming and weight themselves were a-bit off and shaky.
The emotion compensated for that.
some I liked less, but I loved the first, it was- in my opinion- the best one of them.
As I written above, I think you should work a-bit on the technical parts of poetry, if you'll do that, I assure you the conclusions will speak for themselves.

Keep writing.

RHyming isn't your best skill, but it was still an enjoyable poem. I liked the structure (how you divided it into 4 lines and stanzas... Quite interesting poem. :)

Hellouu, I'm Demoness and I've come to give you my opinion on your work! :)

I'll begin with saying.. GREAT WORK! I liked them all alot, not equally much though.

"With death's angel looking above
and life's demon looking below,
they find an opposing force:
happiness." - This was my favorite one, many of my own poems are based on the same theme, I LIKE IT!

The third one was really great too, you got a whole life story to feet in only a few rows - NICE NICE

The first one was good, didn't make me feel anything though as all the others did but stil, Quite GOOD

As for the last one... - Change the word kid to child or something else and it'll be unimprovable :D

Hope I could help or atleast said something that meant something :DD

Good Luck & Keep Writing

"Some say the world will end in fire;
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice." - Robert Frost
