I think I lost all the poems I wrote on TYWC when the site went down. This makes me want to cry. That poetry defined me for a long while, ...

This was fine, you got your ideas across though not necessarily in the most succint way, but generally you dealt with the topic well. The main problem I had with ...

Like niteowl said, it was repetitive and vague. I found the repetition didn't do anything for the poem, because it didn't take on any new meaning as the poem progressed. ...

While the structure isn't the reason it's not poetry, I think you would do better to reconsider it. Think about linebreaks instead of a paragraph, because at the moment the ...

Not too bad. I like the general metaphor of life & realisation as a kaleidoscope, but as Leja pointed out, a lot of your other ideas were just too predictable. ...

Firstly, I think, as PenguinAttack pointed out, you let yourself down with much of your rhyming scheme. The most obvious example of course is: Gaze upon the sheep of Earth ...

Always you have been there to staunch the weeping window-wound, just beyond my bedroom. Nowadays your shadow is dimmer. I even believe I can see the agapanthuses through you, and ...

I quite like this. You have a strong voice and the content here really capitalises on this. For the most part the subject was interesting, and uniquely written. You still ...
