Ok, so my emotions are out of whack and I'm pissed so I decided to write a really short poem. I know it's not very good.

~~

A thunder striking over me,
The life around me one big storm.
Always a few raindrops between friends,
I'm sure you know.

I feel the anger whipping about me,
It's like a dark wind.
Sinister venom laced within it,
Poisoning me forever.

Hiya! Classy here to review.

Always a few raindrops between friends,

This was the only line that that struck me as something I needed to comment on. I really want more on this. I have no idea what you are talking about, and I would really like to. I think you should spend more time relating this poem to your life.

All in all, this was cute. I liked how it was short. Just work on your showing instead of telling.

Classy

I like how short this is, because you managed to still make it powerful. You kind of mixed two metaphors towards the end though - perhaps the wind could be cold, even freezing, turning you to ice or something. The poison thing would be good if you had mentioned a drink, perhaps, but I'm not sure it works too well here. If you instead were to expand on the storm metaphor, it could make your poem even stronger. I particularly like your metaphor in the third line, saying how friends always have some kind of squabble or problem, right?
