I don't know if "I'm sitting at a train station" is necessary at either the beginning or the end. It doesn't fit much with the rest of the poem, and ...

Aww, it's sweet. In this stanza: "The boy showed up, The next day. He came and Wiped her tears away." The second line seems a little too short, like the ...

In the first stanza, "echoes" should be "echo" because it modifys "soft sounds" and you'd say "soft sounds echo" rather than "soft sounds echoes". Try to keep tense consistant, especially ...

Usually this type of rhyme scheme bothers me by the fifth or sixth line, but here, I liked it. In this stanza: "swallow your tongue, you silly little girl pink ...

I, too, took it literally; I thought someone had drowned in the ocean, and the subject was remembering it... Nice sand imagery with the burying and all. In fact, nice ...

"Easily disguised by a kiss" was an awkward sounding line, like there were too many verbal (rather than conceptual) parts to it. The only other thing I can see is ...

with words so perfect, 5 like the devils tongue. 5 If you're going to punctuate like a sentence, you should also check to see that you have sentence-like grammar as ...

The first stanza just tells what's going on, rather than making the reader pay too close attention. The second stanza does a better job by adding a few more things ...

Hmmm *laughs* why have I always thought he was a playwrite... Thanks Claudette EDIT: just kidding....I just wikipedia'd him....

Hey all, I'm looking for a collection of poetry [or specific poems, whatever] to read so I can study up. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks, Amelia
