I don't write much poetry and what I do write I seldom like. Actually to be more honest most poetry I write I hate,which makes the fact that my teacher has always found that I'm good at interpreting poetry hilarious. This was one I had to write for my English class feel free to critique it as you please.

Hey Daniel,
Sometimes, I can be very critical of poetry, and this is one of those times xD.
I agree with Storygirl that the last stanza is your best. I feel like your poem is a little too vague, and with some better wording in some places you can make this feel more crisp and vivid. If you have any questions, you can PM me or write on my wall.
Keep up the good work!
First off, I like it! It overall flowed nicely and it displays a clear mental image. While it is a bit confusing, I think one of the main points of poetry is the specific meanings it expresses to different readers. And if for some it doesn't make sense, that's okay!
, maybe you could change the second line around to make it more poetic?A few critiques I can make is that you might want to try adding a comma here and there, just to soften the beat a bit. And you also repeated words a few times, and to help it have a sweeter ring to it you might want to try looking for a synonym, or to try and state your point a different way? Like in,
Or in, , perhaps if you wanted to keep the rhyme but to not repeat 'sky', you could say something like, "a fireball extinguishing that seems so high". Just a suggestion
I understand you dislike poetry, I'm just trying to be helpful ;P
Okay, it was good and imaginitive, but still confusing. *Clapping*

I really don't see any thing wrong with this. Aside from missing punctuation in some places... It has a nice rhythm and flow to it, and it was easy to imagine everything.. which I liked. I thought it was really good.
