    Parts of me really want to like this poem, but there are some things I really can't get over. First off, the ambiguity is what is killing me. This could ...

    I like it, but I find to be the rhythm yo abrupt for the language you are using. I think playing around with form, might help you express your ideas ...

  • Poetry » General, Romantic Re: "I love you"

    This is SO generic. What you have done here is present the reader with ideas, but you don't support the ideas with anything. You leave us hanging at the end ...

    Wow. This is pretty intense. I like your idea of "the shackles of society", but I don't understand why you feel this way from this poem. Obviously there is hurt, ...

    In agreement with what the last person said: this poem does not flow very well. The concept is of course great; who doesn't like to get out of writer's block ...

  • Poetry » Narrative, General Re: Sabrina

    You are definitely telling instead of showing what has happened to you here. That's my only qualm with this piece, and I struggle with that sometimes to. Overall it was ...

  • Poetry » Other, General Re: "It's something to do"
