Re: The Parking Lot Sparrows (2)
Everything is in such a sad tone! I don't know if I'm just noticing this of if it's been prevelant throughout. In the case of the grief counselor, the things ...

Re: A Message (WARNING: if you dont like the truth, read this!)
I found this poem to be rather a disappointment, actually. By your warning, I expected something shocking, something that I've never heard before, that would make me sit up straighter ...

Re: The Parking Lot Sparrows (1) [Edit 03/04]
So basically? I lurveee how this is divided into sections. It's this nice mix of viewpoints and the added bonus of actually advancing the actions, which all too many multiple-viewpoint ...

Re: Meeting Place
This is a very vague poem. The "you" is undefined, there's a lot of "it"s and "there"s. How could anyone relate if it's not specific enough for them to catch? ...

Re: Eight All
Tennis, yes? This has a nice, hurried feeling to it that works well as a whole. Just make sure you watch the rhythm; some of the lines had a lot ...

Re: Lyric Poetry

Re: My First Poem
(a quick note on the title: the use of "1st" instead of "first" in this context comes off as lazy. Numbers up to one hundred should generally be spelled out.) ...

Re: ♥ Art Boy
