I noted my comment earlier on, and I'd just like to add to the mix Reflections on the Psalms by the same author. For anyone who has ever had any ...

Definitely a classic - I was incredibly jealous when I heard they study it in English Lit. in some states in America. While the first will always remain my favourite, ...

Ah, the conceited flautist. Give me that clarinet squeak any day. I don't really have much of a critique for you: there are probably little nitpicks of rhythm or language ...

Well heya there, yoho :) It's short, and it's cute! I like the first three lines, the exemplify both of those qualities, and I think they come off rather nicely. ...

I read this book very early on in my life and it's definitely stuck with me, I still read it every now and again and find it just as good ...

Aw, lots of not-critiques (useful as they are), how sad! Let's fix that. You're new here, so I'll keep it fairly short and just try to give you some broad ...

This is why I agree with Rigel: make it blunt-er. Graaaaah nononono! Please no. If there's one thing I hate it's associating poetry you understand with good poetry. If you ...

I do own a copy of the communist manifesto but must confess that i only skimped it and never read the whole thing cover to cover, partly because over half ...

As people have said, check your spelling - making basic mistakes only makes your poetry seem more basic and poor than it is. Now then, your form. It's bad. First ...
