Sometimes There Are Grey Areas

the dirtiest grey

anxiousness

like rubber but crawling

screeching your name

a melancholy taste

paranoia

the blues the blues

whispering but hostile

locked and not sheltered

a murky deranged white of the eye

replacing the trees

a buzzing a buzzing

stifling air

closing doors

a tapping

and the bleakest of greys

Don't panic - lack of punctuation and capitals is deliberate. Written roughly a year ago.

Hi Jaz! I'm Spork and I'll review this today.

Okay, some people may complain about the fragmented lines, but I really liked them. They conveyed that uneasy tone...and the word choice (melancholy/paranoia/hostile) only enhanced it. The flow was great, I was drawn to the poem and it read quite easily. I'm trying to think of something to nitpick---but I can't come up with anything actually that needs to be changed. I will suggest though, perhaps grouping your lines into stanzas, and maybe having the really connotative words by themselves. That's your call though, as this format works well too.
I really liked this.

Hi! First of all, I really like this. I think that the title could be a lot more creative - maybe a small reference to the situation that inspired you to write this. The emotions would be a lot more effective if they were applied to something in particular. Your lack of punctuation suits this poem but I think you should add some commas just for clarity's sake. Overall, though, you really get your point across in as few words as possible. Great job!

Effective use of very few words. The tone and message are clear and interesting. You really get the feeling behind it. I agree that a bit of background might be nice, but I get it. =]

Also, are you familiar with the poet Ellen Hopkins? I think you'd appreciate her. I suggest buying her book "Crank" or "Burned".
