The Way I Hide

The fire from my heart dies,
The fire lights my chest a flame.
As I hide behind the smoke
Simply watching the energy rise and fall around me.
The chaos continues as I stay veiled .
The thunder leaves the sun
comes only to find,
I can’t be found.

It's an interesting poem, certainly capturing the writer in the moment. I don't know if you wanted it to be a blank poem (non rhythmic) or with rhymes because i can see a few links. I liked your description and plot but it would've been nice to have been able to read more about what was going on! :D Keep writing! ;)

Yeah i was going for the blank poem. Also honestly nothing was really going on. . . I wrote it in like spring and I just had this weird feeling from no where it literally felt like my heart was on fire, that was the only way to explain it. So i just had that one line " The fire lights my chest a flame" and worked with that.

I don't know much about poetry, but I like this! Good job! Although, a flame, can also be aflame. That's all I have, and a flame is really correct too. It's like all right, and alright. They've come to mean the same thing!
Review unto others as you would have others review unto you.

Don't panic!

I think you should split "the thunder leaves the sun comes only to find" into two lines between leaves and the. Really good poem.

I find this poem slightly confusing. It is too short. I think you need to make it longer so that the situation gets explained better and the reader can maybe understand it. I know its something about hiding and not being found, but I don't get what the person is hiding from.

You write:

Do you mean 'comes only to find me but I can't be find. I'm sorry but I this poem confuses me. I'm really sorry if I sound harsh but I'm just very honest.

But I do like the how you use the flame and you hide behind the smoke. That was a good idea!

Hi there! I like your poem! It's a very interesting poem to me! I'm not a poet, so I can't really help you, but take the reviews above mine as help. Good job and keep it up!
