Howdy doo Jo, Dogs here with your review today. We got a lotta work to do so lets dive in shall we?
Ok firstly, this is not in a poetry format. This is just a block of text like a short story. You need to create stanzas and lines. A stanza is composed of several poetic lines that are broken up strategically to help create flow and rhythm. So the first couple lines should look like:
"When life brings you down
and you feel like you have no were to go,
and your looking back and seeing
all the memories flowing through your mind."
Something along those lines, building off of that that sentence is a huge run on and is still lacking a little poetic feel. So then describe what the memories look like when you're looking back, are they amorphous blobs of color or are they a trickling river of images? You need to clarify this for the reader so we can see what you are seeing. Your job as a writer is to create an image so strong for the reader that we see the picture you've painted with your words. You lack that excellent imagery you'll find in several poems. To help create that imagery you can use metaphors and similes. Those two are you greatest friends to being an amazing poet.
I'm not going to go into the large amount of grammar and spelling errors you use here, but if you're having problems with grammar and spelling I'd suggest you copy and paste your writing into a word document and use the spell/grammar check there. It'll help your writing a lot trust me.
So please let me know if you correct this piece into a more poem like format and I'd be more then happy to give you a review . Keep up the good work!
