Obstructed Loathing

In Poems

Note :

This is a poem I wrote a very long time ago. Actually, this was the very first poem I wrote. I just found this at the back of an old notebook. Thought I would share it over here. I know it's a bit botched up and really different from the stuff I write now, but I wanted to post this the exact way I first wrote it.




Get away,
let me be.
Five thousand days I have spent,
searching among the debris.

Probing for answers,
this crippled mind.
Seeking the truth,
of what's left behind.

So stop with this charade,
because I have had enough.
You've fooled me for far too long,
Stop acting tough.

I may be shivering,
but it's not from the cold.
For you have fueled,
the hate inside.
I may be whimpering,
but it's not from the fear.
For you have got,
nowhere left to hide.


Now while you fall from grace,
a smile etches on my face.
But for you,
a torrid fate awaits.

Yay, another great poem! <3

Firstly, I don't have any problems with the commas since I do the same thing because the commas at the end of each line indicates continuation. And I kind of like capitalization and punctuation in poems. It looks nice and formal, I guess. :v

It's a very bold poem and I think I haven't told you this before but your poems contain a wide range of good vocabulary. You use words (and use them well) which I didn't know could fit into poems. :) That's an excellent trait.

If this was your first, I wonder what you'll come up with next. :)

Keep writing,
~Gigi

Thaaaakkksss :)
Yep. this was my first, and I hope I don't disappoint you with my next ones :)

Hello there! Unknown391625 here with another review!

Ok so, for a first poem, this is great! I tells about hate and loathe and the feeling of it. It shows good rhyming, so it has a good structure and is rhythmical. I did realize there were unneeded commas. Don't want to add a lot of things that are unneeded. Also, as Sherri realized, most poets didn't use a lot of punctuation and capitalization. It is still good though. I really enjoy it. Definitely good for a first. Anyways, you categorized the genres and the age rating perfectly. You definitely do lots of more poetry. If you need help, i have wrote several poems, so PM me or anyone else on the site. Anyways, great job! An amazing first start for you. I will look for more poems by you. Don't give up and always write!

Hey!
This is a great poem :D Especially for a first (mine was in first grade, with the roses are red, violets are blue stuff XD ), this shows good rhyming and structure. I did notice that there are commas where there needn't be, so you may need to look at that if you wish. I mean, some poets don't use any capitalization or commas, or anything, so it's all up to your personal tastes :)
This is really beautiful; did you love poetry even when you first write this?
Keep writing! :D

Thanks :)
I used to like reading poems, but nothing serious. It was after writing this, that I got more interested in poetry and all.
And I love you avatar. Hehehhe :D

Wow, this is really good! I love the few rhymes and the wording. I wish I could write poems as amazingly as you! When did you write this? I certainly love it, and even for your very first poem! Congrats! I will definitely read more of your stuff. :)

Thanks! :D
I'm not exactly sure, but I think I wrote this when I was 16, so like 2 years ago.

So, what inspired this, do you remember?

I don't exactly remember, but I think it was on self hate.



Never forget how special this site is: the older I get, the more I realize how many lonely writers there are who have only family and maybe some friends to read their works. The fact we get free critique, nightly writing pads, free contests and unlimited interaction at *no cost* with people genuinely wanting to help, can not be overstated or overrated
