Very rough draft of a poem-wrote in ten minutes...Any thoughts?
Edit Numero Uno!
When I was young
I felt isolated
Because I understood
Why the plants depart
In winter
And return again
When the world weeps
My mother
Never reads the paper
Life is busy enough
She says
The headlines
Are too callous
For her to carry
Sometimes in summer
A wasp
Catches in my window
A glimmer of reverie
Stuck in the wire
She understands
This is her fate
And waits for the cold
We are all blinded
By the internal machine
Named vanity
Our path is singular
Without enough room
For regrets
We are alone

It'd good, it has good visuals and good flow and really nice meaning could really relate to it and i find those are the best ( sorry for sounding redundant to my counterparts above me. Keep writing!
Really good, but I agree it needs some work, but it is good. Keep working on it and it could be another classic.
i can relate to this poem and those are the best. I thought you really reached out to your aduience well. I thought your flow was good. I also really liked your word choices they touched me in a certin way. You did a great job. Keep up the writing and the good work.
Thanks so much Kafkaescence! I always love your reviews! I'll be sure to edit this--I normally don't just throw something down, but it came to me, and I said what the heck!
This is great, Bookworm! Though I'll admit that I do agree with you on that it is a rough draft.
Well, the one thing I would like you to know is that this is a remarkable poem for one that was written in ten minutes. If you could write this in that short of a time, then I'm dying to know what you could write in an hour....
One thing I did find lacking throughout was imagery. You have strong emotions, but I don't have any picture in my head as I'm reading this. This is great as it is, though, with a little revision, so what I would do is use this as a basic structure and then expand on it from there. Hope this helps!
