    Welcome to YWS :) This was really good - I loved the way you used technical language to add precision to your imagery. Very neatly done! Ther were a few ...

    Hm. It didn't really flow for me really. Kit mentioned most of the major things, but I'd also add that "plenty" would read better as "aplenty" and I don't think ...

    Hm. Well, it was OK, but to be honest it left me kind of cold. I think part of the problem is that each of the lines you've used (with ...

    I agree, this is a very powerful poem; but there are some ways I think you could improve it. Firstly, punctuation. You don't really have much punctuation throughout and that ...

    I agree - this was quite a powerful poem, and well-executed. Part of me always rebels when I see "message" poetry, but I do think you've captured the whole tone ...

    Hi again Ayra! This is definitely one of your better pieces, I think -- you can definitely tell there's a lot of feeling involved, and I really love the image ...

  • Poetry » Dramatic, General Re: Holy Matron

    While I appreciate the sentiment behind it, the poem itself is too bald for my taste. It asks a question, then answers itself, and one is left wondering what the ...

    Wow. That definitely packs quite a punch. I love the voice here, and your rhythm really picks up from the second stanza onwards. It's great to see such an important ...

    Honestly? I liked it - the image was quite vivid and I felt the structure very balanced. There were a couple of things that bugged me, though. Firstly, you repeat ...

  • Poetry » Lyrical, General Re: Love is like a book of Pittsburgh Love Stories

    I agree with Cade; shopping list poetry like this gets pretty dull by the third line. The problem is that by listing things in the same way each time, you're ...

  • Poetry » Dramatic, General Re: Better off dead

    I'm gonna be blunt here and say I found it a bit boring and, essentially, pointless. It pretends to tell a story, but all of the important details beyond the ...

  • Poetry » Other, General Re: Storm

    I found the line breaks a little awkward, but in the end effective. The punctuation could be a little more consistent, perhaps? Otherwise, though, I found it strangely compelling. You ...

    Yes, it is cliche. Not only the story ("I loved you and you didnt love me and so I killed myself") but also the approach to it - a bald, ...

    Firstly, I would just like to thank you for rating this piece; nice to see people using the ratings system :) That being said, I'm afraid I must admit that ...

    I agree with Brad - not a lot to be excited by. But a good attempt for your first real poem here :) I liked your imagery and the concept ...
