Re: Belladonna
I really like the tone of this piece, it just...sounds so good, you know? Your description is excellent, as well. Though I think I liked it better before I read ...

Re: Under the Bridges
I quite like this style, it sounds a little...old, it's nice. I also like how you used repetition - "passed away, forever away", and "lain on the grass, lain on ...

Re: In the end
This was all tell and no show, and loses all structure halfway through - the last five lines seem more like prose than an actual poem. Find an original way ...

Re: One in the Same
It is a good start, but I need to know more - as it stands, this poem gives me nothing to relate to. Who are you talking to, why do ...

Re: Meditate
I like the repetition of inhaling and exhaling, and how at the end you seem to have gone to...well, what I would call your happy place. Also, "chastise my mind ...

Re: All for me
I thought I had already critiqued this...hmm. Anyway, the concept is good, and relatable, but not very well-written. The repetition of I hate...was too much. And yellow was very random. ...

Re: Our Last Kiss
This was rather nice but to be honest, I skipped the second half because it was so long, and seemed to drag out. I think you could say all you ...

Re: The Murdered and the Murderer (extended)
