rough waters
under my boat
never stop
thought I could
handle
rough waters.
out of my boat now
under my boat now
gasping for aid
hang on
Waisting river
all around
three-score angels,
entangel with nymphs,
rivals for my soal

Your comment was posted, but it wasn’t long enough to count as a review. Reviews need about four complete sentences (at least 250 characters). Try writing another review that explains your thoughts in more detail — the author will appreciate it, and you’ll earn points for it.
First letter down is obvious. That doesn't make it a poem though. Why butcher the meter for it? I really don't see the point. If it sounds bad, it is bad. No point going 'oh I did this and this' if you cannot write a poem in the first place.
Save that stuff for later... it's like trying to paint neoprimitive when you cannot even paint abstract. :/
About the spelling and things, I like to put "hiddens" in my poetry. Hiddens are things that are weird and add (I think) to the poetry. If you look hard, you can see whole other dimentions in them. I know it's a little weird, but for who do we write, if not for ourselves? Oh, and by the way, the title is hidden in the poem somewhere. Can you find it?
This poem has great imagery and I did really enjoy its content.
My advise, however, would be to add some structure to this thing! ^^ Capitalization is almost a must, more punctuation is needed as well.
It takes a great artist to write poetry that does not need either...I learned that the hard way.

No meter, no form.
It is an attempt at poetry, but you lack the focus. This hinders the concept. Try fixing up the meter and then you will be able to rewrite it more clearly.
First I'm just going to sum it up a bit: This poem definitely put images into my mind. The way you made your words flow helped the poem develop pictures. I must say though, this:
was my favorite part. Now, I'm no poet myself, I tend to stick to stories, but I thoughts this was pretty good. Now, was the no capitals on purpose, or for some reason you just didn't stick them in? Not to seem rude, I just want to know.
The only thing I would suggest is perhaps a bit more length. I know some poems can't be made longer, perhaps like this ones like this, which is perfectly fine. Just maybe a *tiny* bit more descriptions? Also, your spelling seems to be a bit off. In the quote I posted, I corrected the few there.
