    I love the first stanza, and how you make references to nature in describing all the eyes you have seen. I also like how you separated the speech into its ...

    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 ...

  • Poetry » Dramatic, General 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 ...

  • Poetry » Dramatic, General 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 ...

  • Poetry » Dramatic, General 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 ...

  • Poetry » Dramatic, General 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 ...

    Firstly, I'd like to welcome you to the site. Secondly, I'd like to let you know that we have a 2:1 ratio rule here - so that you critique two ...

  • Poetry » Dramatic, General Re: Indigo

    Need it be said again? This is excellent. You describe everything so beautifully, your use of imagery is great - watercolour sunset, tasting colours on your fingertips...Also, I like the ...

  • Poetry » Dramatic, General Re: Reasons

    I really like the first stanza, especially how you put links on a separate line. The last line of that stanza is great, too. I think you use good rhyming ...

  • Poetry » Dramatic, General Re: Love, I'm Sorry

    I think the letter kind of format was a good idea, however aside from that, your poem seems to have no structure at all, and I know poems don't have ...

  • Poetry » Dramatic, General Re: Just a poem

    Let's jump straight in. The first two lines don't rhyme, and neither do the last two, so they're not in keeping with the rest of the poem. I like the ...

  • Poetry » Dramatic, General 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. ...

  • Poetry » Dramatic, General 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 ...

  • Poetry » Dramatic, General Re: The Murdered and the Murderer (extended)

    Yes, the rhyming scheme is good, and yes, the writing itself is not bad. However, I find the rhyming scheme a little too light-hearted for this subject. The tone just...doesn't ...

  • Poetry » Dramatic, General Re: Kiss Me Once; Hurt Me Twice

    Someone once said, if a poem only has three good lines, it should only be three lines long. I think the repeated End my... is filler. It adds nothing to ...

What holds you betwixt panic and serenity? That is, if it's not among the many querulous quagmires unfit for elaboration.
