Mad

It hasn't got any substance at the moment. Where are the descriptions? It's just a retelling. One of the most important things about poetry is that you need to show ...

I'm not so keen on Maybe you wrote it, maybe you didn’t. It’s this arbitrary nature that separates man from beast, bird from the foul world that taints us from ...

All our secrets lie bare before us. The sheets are a pristine white canvas, ready to cloud with our frustrations. I'd probably cut those first two lines. They're too said. ...

How I longed for the day I would see the sun we always sang about in this soulless hell. With your first stanza, there definitely is something about the flow ...

It's an interesting poem. I really liked the way that it was narrated. The idea put forward first and then the creative way that it is metaphorically described. My main ...

This doesn't go anywhere. You're talking about how it's crazy that things aren't the way you think they are, I think. But you don't illustrate that very well. You simply ...

Okay, firstly (and something other many others will remind you to do) you need to maintain a 2:1 ratio of critiques to posts. If you do this, people are more ...

I liked this. It was a new slant on something and well described. I feel him surveying me, stalking me, smothering me in his arrogance. In his arrogance doesn't work. ...
