  • Poetry » Dramatic, General Re: Dying- I revised it: tell me if its worse......or better.

    This is not a poem. There is nothing poetic about it. You did not grace white lines with emotions, but with philosophies and revelations and did not forebear upon yourself ...

    As a general rule, only truly great poets can convey messages in such a short space. I would heavily advise you against these kinds of poems. Your emotions and senses ...

    I don't agree with this poem's message. Maybe in an isolated sense, but you apply it to society at large. I think you should have given an example and personalized ...

    The first four stanzas served a purpose you will eventually be able to say in one. Not that I could do it, nor would I offer up such blasphemy; however, ...

    Because this poem is not lucent in certain stanzas, I'd like to state something, and you can critique me for not doing my job, but you know, shove it. My ...

    You must have learned what "cadence" meant today... Anyway, the poem was a huge upgrade in your writing style. You never wrote terrifically horrid, however. I think it is important ...
