  • Poetry » Dramatic, General Re: I'm new and I have a poem (wow that was depressing)

    Wow. That was depressing. You're right. Now, stop describing emotions. We know what emotions are, thank you. You need to strive for imagery in your poetry, to begin with. Then ...

    You seemed quite detached from this yourself. It was like a second-person nostalgia. It was pretty, but it didn't leave any impact on me, nothing to contemplate later about my ...

    I'm not a fan of religious poetry. Plain and simple. So I am biased, keep that in mind. I think that you have a good concept here, but you didn't ...

    I don't generally enjoy explaining the meaning of my poetry, but for clarification: I did not give my ex "proper closure" and being the dumb broad she is thought we ...

    This is hardly breathtaking. I don't know what the other reviewers were on when they wrote their comments, but I'm sure you're going to wish I had had it when ...

    not my favorite. You just repeated the whole Final Destination creed, not really your style, is it? And the boy slitting the child's throat was...bitchy. Haha. Kind of. No. Ha. ...

    This was unsatisfactory for someone looking for uncommon ideas. You pretty much said what every pent-up emotional teenager says in poetry, which is good for you, it's a great release, ...

    No. It's about human nature. The whole "fix what isn't broken" line is supposed to say that we have to accept Fate, as who we are, and we can't say ...

    First stanza is incomprehensible. Second stanza has too much repetition and not enough meat. Third stanza is good but I don't understand the strawberry bowl and red cream reference, nor ...

    Second stanza...just...no, okay? It looks like you were trying too hard to be "profound" or something, when the poem itself, the concept, is profound enough. Don't overemphasize, just write what ...

    No, no. Not that you stole the lines - you stole the rhythm and used the same rhyme scheme, which is never good. Actual crits? Well, I'm not a lyricist, ...

    Purgatorio was kind of...pointless and disturbing. Once past hell, you get to go float around in an empty white box and contemplate what you did. OOOOOH now that was creative ...

    Well, structurally, if you're going to replicate Dickinson's style of appending "--" at the end of lines, the poem should be much more succinct, which is, coincidentally, one of the ...

    Incessant pointlessness is a trait of your poetry. You certainly conform to postmodernism's regulations; that is, pointless and long-winded methodologies for saying "victory is tasted best by the lose
