Actually I have to say i'm giving you criticism, because these pieces are worth it. On piece one. It does appear like you were simply throwing something out there at first, but if you were to take another try at it I bet you could make it a masterpiece. I like the idea behind it, the story your displaying. However there wasn't enough there. If you would add a few more verses and play with the words a little bit, i'm sure it could be the best it could be. On piece two. For a short poem, this is lovely. It seems deep yet distant, and has just the right amount of mysterious to peek my interest. I like this one just the way it is. And about the side note. Anything you make should and will be taken seriously, by me. Whether you spent two years or two seconds on something the results are based on what you put into it. I like to think every time you create something you give it a piece of your heart/soul. So whatever it is you created should be taken just as seriously as you. You should really keep trying, i'd love to hear more and see what you could do with a little time on the first piece.
