You say I take your breath away.
Well, baby, save your breath.
I never meant much anyway.
Fuck all of the things you said.

I think it's good. yes, it's too short. yes, it's not an ocean of metaphors.
but it's on point. the first two lines are so brilliant, that they could hold the whole weight of the word "poem" on their shoulders.
I like your short pieces, they're like rain drops in thunderstorms.

Hey there. I'm Scarlett and I'm here to review your poem.

This, like your other poem, is really short, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but for this, it definitely is. For a start, I don't really get this. There's no real flow, no imagery, no metaphors. And that is what makes a poem a poem. This, to me, just seems like four lines of random thought written down, and I'm sad to say that I can't even call this a poem. And neither can I give you a proper review.

So, i'm just going to say you should expand on this. Give me more. I want to know why you're saying this, how you can say this to this person. This...is just four random lines. And I can't really take anything from this. I'm sorry if I sound harsh, but you've given me a big question and no answers. I want more. I want to know why, how, when, who. I know I've said some of this already, but seriously, you have given me almost nothing. In fact, this feels incomplete, and that kind of bugs me. So, I'm sorry if I sound mean or anything. I really don't mean to. I'm just trying to help.

And, so, my friend. You have interesting snippet of poetry here. And I just have to say thank you for it, despite me wanting more. I do like it, though, but I can't really love it. Not yet. So I can really only say one thing here; expand on it, give me more to this story, and let me know. I'll come back to give it a proper review.

I hope this helped! And don't forget; Keep it up and never stop writing!

Hi there!
First off, this is very clever and I love it. Second, even though this might have been posted as a vent, or for whatever other reason, it's really short. I do love this though and I'll be checking out some of your other works. If you have anything in particular you'd like me to look at, shoot me a PM and I'll be more than happy to take a look at it. Keep up the great work and I'll be back for more of this great poetry :D

And stay insane, all of the good writers are c:
