  • Poetry » General, Spiritual Re: As a tenderness I want but am wont not to touch

    This poem could be condensed. I understand that it is a dream, and I appreciate the very Dr. Seussian rhyme pattern, but it carries the reader too far away from ...

  • Poetry » Other, General Re: An Oyster in an ocean..

    Having the structure scattered like this is really not helping the poem that much. It does create interest visually, but there's not enough of a reason for the visual aspect. ...

  • Poetry » Romantic, Dramatic Re: My Last Turn

    I think this poem could use some condensing. The basic outline is that the speaker is heading for their death. They are close enough that they can see the ditch, ...
