    I liked the first stanza, but after that it got a bit repetitive. Watch your punctuation and capitalization - it got a bit weird by the end. You might want ...

    Just a tip - saying your poem is "really bad" isn't likely to garner many reviews ;) That said, it wasn't so terrible. The repetition of "if only" got old ...

    Wow. That was awesome - smokin', if you'll pardon the pun. There were a few things I felt which didn't mesh. For example: entrance Me as he ensured he was ...

    To be perfectly honest, I've heard this a million times in almost in the exact same words. My advice to you would be to scrap this and start again. This ...

  • Poetry » Lyrical, General Re: general

    I'd definitely capitalize the i's but otherwise I think it's pretty good. You have a nice sense of rhythm and your rhymes are quite natural, not forced. Your images are ...

  • Poetry » Lyrical, General Re: Wishing AND Hopeing

    This is very repetitious and has very little for the reader to connect with. As Snoink would say, it's something of a "shopping list" poem. Try showing us rather than ...

    To be perfectly honest, I only got through half of it before I had to stop. Four pieces of advice: 1. Punctuate. It really helps the reader figure out how ...

  • Poetry » Lyrical, General Re: Blind Riot

    This sounded like it had a lot to say, but there was only one problem - I couldn't really understand it. Now maybe that's just because I'm distracted and my ...

    Hmm. You have a good grasp of rhythm and keep to it well; the repetition is used effectively, and I like the tone throughout. A few bits need to be ...

  • Poetry » Lyrical, General Re: New Day

    Some nice images, but they were disconnected and seemed rather repetitious. I'd suggest reforming this, taking the better lines - e.g. "the eye of the past" and "golden, meaningful times" ...

    Like Cade I feel this started out well but steadily deteriorated. If I were you, I'd take this and try to reform it into something more serious. Humorous poetry is ...

  • Poetry » Dramatic, General Re: Striving for sometime

    I agree that you need to use poetry format here. Beyond that, the poem is rather formulaic. There is little in the way of technique and even less in the ...

  • Poetry » Dramatic, General Re: The Dying Tree: Lovers Regrowing

    This poem has the potential to be truly beautiful, but there's still more work to be done. Nothing can compare to nature; we retread this adventure, when no art and ...

  • Poetry » Dramatic, General Re: Friendship

    I'm afraid I have to agree with Cade - there's nothing here for the reader to connect with. We've all lost friends, it's true, but you can't rely on the ...

    Overall, I felt this was an OK poem but not particularly striking. I liked your imagery, and you seem to have a good grasp of rhythm. However, your subject matter ...
