  • Poetry » Lyrical, General Re: One by one

    Hey black star, I didn't really understand the context too brilliantly - was it from a group of poems? Or was it something symbolic I missed? (probably the latter) :P ...

  • Poetry » Dramatic, General Re: An Angel's decent

    Its really nice, its really good how it's quite short but filled with imagery and meaning. The only nitpicking is the capitalisation of some words, but like yours with mine, ...

  • Poetry » Dramatic, General Re: Imperfection

    Alright xbrokenxstar, I love how personal the poem feels when you read it, and it obviously means an awful lot to you (especially in adolescent years of identity and whatnot). ...
