brighter day

The sun shone bright quite possibly brighter that it had ever than it had ever shone in its existence   Only it didn't shine on me it seemed to purposely exclude me from recieving it's radiance Instead a cloud poured itself over me and infected my person when I spoke instead of happy words the faint callings of a desperate soul were heard My soul was hollow laid desolate there was nothing left to give or take My withering but not withered soul relinquished all capacity to think to  to the cloud the cloud was now my master  The moon unlike the sun is foolish and desperate and only doesnt shine so bright as the sun because many ages of rotten souls have laid it barren  At night you can hear it's calls of desperation see its outstretched arms only know one hears only those thats wallow in its despair and gloom The sun is raw and exposes with pride the worlds rotten, tortured, hateful souls s it watchs over A rotten soul cannot take to much sun it kills its evil so they hide in darkness until night where they can be happy again

Instantly before I even start reading this I see is lacks stanzas and punctuation.
You need both of these things, no exception. It stands alone as a block of text, with no form, no arms. It is like a body without limbs, it has no bones and slumps like a sack.
I could write poetry about lack of structure all day but I am here to review you so review I will do.
I think the best thing I can do for you is to reformat your poem, as I find it incredibly hard to review without any sort of layout and fix up punctuation and some other stuff while I'm at it.

The sun shone bright;
quite possibly brighter
than it had ever shone before.

Ok here is our first major problem. As you see I rewrote "that it had ever than it had ever shone in its existence" Blatantly what you wrote made no sense and it had to be re-written.


Only it didn't shine on me,
it seemed to purposely
exclude me from receiving it's radiance.

I fixed up the spelling of receiving.

Instead a cloud poured itself
over me, and infected my person.
When I spoke instead of happy words
the faint callings of a desperate soul were heard.

I found a rhyme here. :) also I added some VERY IMPORTANT punctuation that fixed up the clutter of that line.


My soul was hollow, lay desolate,
there was nothing left to give or take.
My withering but not withered soul
relinquished all capacity, to think to the cloud
the cloud was now my master.

Once again punctuation is major here.


The moon, unlike the sun
is foolish and desperate.
It doesn't shine so bright as the sun
because many ages of rotten souls
have laid it barren.

A couple of wording tweaks as well as punctuation.


At night you can hear
it's calls of desperation.
See its outstretched arms,
only those who hear
wallow in its despair and gloom.

More wording fixed, took out a repeated line.


The sun is raw and exposes with pride
the worlds rotten, tortured, hateful souls.
It watches over.
A rotten soul cannot take
too much sun, it kills its evil
so they hide in darkness
until night where they can be happy again.

This bit was hard to put into lines but I tried.

Overall reformatted version.

Meihn Fuhr!
This piece is fluent. It was some what confusing with no stanzas and no clear ending of the stanza. Luckily, your capitalisation made it clear enough. It's dark. To me,atleast. It comes to how you think of it. I say it shines in my mind, not exactly my life. I get called weird for using the word "Ditto."
It's a nice little read
Dr.Strangelove gives it
"Heil! 7.1/10"
Keep it up

Hi there... I have to say, this was a pleasure to read! It was well written, crisp ane the message was clear. There were a few grammatical issues such as the misuse of the "its" tense. In addition, due to the YWS set up, there were no stanzas. I can't criticize you for this, however, considering the amount of times this has happened to me. I think that this was really, truly beautiful though, and I especially enjoyed reading the lines such the line, "the moon, unlike the sun is foolish". I don't know why, but I was enamored by that line. Iiked most of the lines, but that was definitely my favorite. Overall, I enjoyed reading this and my only suggestions are that you re-read this and check for simple errors that take away from the fluidity of this piece.

Glad you liked and I will make those grammatical changes
