    I think I explained it a little yesterday. Stuff like "sun" and "begun", "sky" and "by", "head" and "said", sounds a bit...I can't think of the word. But now that I think about it, I guess it's just a pity complaint, cause it is still good :]

    Well, I actually liked the sun and begun part. But I suppose I could expand and create and use new words that are better. Thanks

    Finding something

    My brittle bones cause the revision of my soul
    It sparks a light inside of me
    Engulfed in the dimming disgrace
    Echoes crawling up my arms
    Resorting to taking glimpses of my future
    Assuming that I am capable to envision
    Such a justified behavior
    Unable to follow my dreams
    Cursed to never hear my conscious
    A gust of wind grasps onto me
    It mentions a solution to my problem
    Letting me go in a swift forward motion
    Bound for a destiny beyond this place
    Unknown and teetering on the edge of nothing
    Bluffing about myself to my peers
    In an endless cycle of deceit
    Captivated by some outside source
    Mesmerized by a flashing pixelated song
    My soul settles by shrugging to the outside world
    Letting the dead plague of humanity devour the earth as I pass by
    With an overwhelming idea of accepting defeat
    My compass leads me north
    Planets resting on my shoulders
    A deceiving conclusion that recreates a former experience
    A pitiful and passionate rememberance
    Painting a blank wall to form myself
    Determined to have a stitch of reality
    If these walls could speak they'd mutter quietly
    How a picture is not always what it seems
    Vague clouds of time bubble inside of me
    Speaking riddles that gain my respect
    Pausing as a turn to the next chapter in my life
    I take heed of what you meant to me

    Your best yet. I love the symbolism and use of extensive vocabulary, without going overboard, keeping a simple style to it. It's epic, and cute, and strong, yet frail. I love it :3

    Hmmm. I did like this, for the best part of it. It is nice to see a wider range of vocab being used in your writing, but I can't quite make sense of some lines in this, halez.

    I can't quite grasp the meaning of this line, and with it being the opening line, I do find it critical that I know what it means, as this is what people are going to read first and foremost, and you do want to make a good impression for what the rest of the poem is going to be like, right?

    This may be metaphorical, I don't know. A flashing pixelated song? Is this meant to be personification, or have you encountered some verb confusion here? I'm assuming it's personification, but I just wanted to double-check.

    Another vibe that I felt in the middle of this piece, was that you struggled slightly? Maybe it's just me getting picky; I'm not sure.
    Just remember not to go overboard, or try too hard with using an extended vocabulary. It tends to take a bad effect on the writing if you use too many metaphors to an extent where the reader has to dig deep to find the meaning behind the long words.

    Otherwise, cute poem halez <3

    Thanks



    Well, first off I am just trying to use different words in my writing. So that I don't feel as though every poem is describing the same thing. I don't want all the poems to sound the same. And since I'm taking a creative writing class, my teacher is guiding us to be better writings including to use different methods to find and describe things differently.
    I didn't actually struggle to write this poem at all. I struggled writing the last one, but I'm pretty confident about this one. I actually like it.

    The first line pretty much means how the person is getting weaker and weaker; she doesn't quite no how to deal with herself and how to view people anymore. She wants to revise and reflect on herself as a person. If that makes sense...

    With the flashing pixelated song line; I wasn't really intending it to be personification. She was mesmerized by it. I guess when I was writing it I thought that the song would help her to find out who she trully is. I honestly don't know now o.o

    And I wasn't struggling. o.o My poems are pretty much always simple. So I am just trying to get better,Emz. Use better words and such to be descriptive and tell a story in a poem. And in my opinion, which shouldn't be taken as a fact obviously; I think it's good to think when reading a poem or a story. Thanks for the crit. <3

    Cliche Seasons Poem

    Branches weaving over streets
    Releasing leaves with bold pigments
    Falling to the earth and becoming shapeless
    A blurry angle from within my camera
    Water droplets join this wonderful milieu
    Reaching down to touch our planet
    A divine setting in which we spend our time
    Pondering whilst staring outside our frame
    That separates us from bold adjustment
    Dying greenery drops it's last shelter
    Becoming vulnerable to nipping wind and falling ice crystals
    Storms surround these fleeting months
    A fever might awaken a broad transition of environment
    Springing in bright blossoms
    Radiant shrubs arising from their shells
    Tepid temperatures filling my lungs
    My clothes become shorter
    The scorching sky begins to make an appearance
    Blazing and a longing for something cool and refreshing
    Until the cycle starts again

    Okay, I read all of your poems, and I must say that I enjoyed them...A lot!

    You've gotten better at this, and while you don't really use the most extensive vocabulary, the words get across, which is very good.

    I'll be checking this often.

    Thanks, hun. That means a lot. c:

    The One


    The one who doesn't care
    The one overwhelmed by hatred
    The one consumed by drama
    The one eating her way to a bleak life
    The one surrounded by false trust
    The one playing her peers
    The one hiding any sign of emotion
    The one with a fake smile
    The one that longs for something she'll never get
    The one covered in plastic
    The one hiding behind a colorful cloth
    The one without a heartbeat
    The one who could leave you for dead
    The one who will talk about you to everyone
    The one who will make your private life her business
    The one who will mess with your mind and draw tears
    The one that will drive you to make bad decisions
    The one who would do anything for affection
    The one who is deprived of a father
    The one who is spoiled by her mother
    The one who will make you a murderer
    The one who will make a creative mind set to kill
    The one who is a waste of brain cells
    The one that will make you feel insignificant
    The one that will drown you in your own tears
    The one who will steal your friends
    The one who might one day bring you to suicide
    The one who will make your style seem irrelivant
    The one draping you with a phony life
    The one who will try to clone you
    The one who will attempt to control you
    The one who might one day crush your dreams
    The one who scratches at your eyes
    The one who claims to know everything
    She doesn't
    She will try to hurt you
    She won't destroy you
    She can't delete you
    You will overcome her, like I did
    Overcome the one

    I liked your latest here; repetition was used wisely, and wasn't wrong executed in any parts.

    <3 well done.

    I liked this one, even if it's pretty much "teen" styled, and yet it remains darker and more mature. I like it, and for some reason, I couldn't stop reading it. I specially liked the end. You've got a pretty strong and creative mindset, it seems.

    I really like your poems.

    I really haven't posted here in forever. But these are some poems I wrote about a month ago, I wanted to update this. Comment and all that. I'd love some critique because I'm really trying hard to improve with writing. Thank you.


    Teenagers
    We will learn from our mistakes
    We all have to face ourselves one day
    Whether we want to see ourselves or not
    We will follow ourselves until we find ourselves
    And we will cry and scream at the sight of us
    Because we've waited so long for this
    And we can't feel it at all
    We just woke up​

    Atlas
    The sun is awakening
    The night is transitioning into day
    Dew covered grass from yesterday's tears
    Disappear into the breaking of the dawn
    Cosmic lights won't be my shelter
    Won't be my solution
    The weight has risen off my shoulders
    My head is clear
    My tears will dry
    My mouth with arc
    I can't live without a change
    I know it'll be okay

    Sharp
    As it falls in rich blades
    It cuts through me as it lands upon my skin
    The jagged texture comforting me, as I continue
    And the warm feeling it arises
    Is only the feeling of me letting go
    But the hardness of the words to come
    Might just cease the pain above
    From inside my body it's like a drill
    Forms an oasis in my dry humour
    A throbbing pulse of headaches, ablaze
    The soles of it, worn, as it runs down
    Blotching and red, it's spreading disease
    I am simply fighting it back, to remain a stone
    But I fail, as I've always learned to accept
    That tears are the sharp denial of what's kept.​

    Gahh, I forgot to CnC yesterday. Sorry 'bout that.

    Anyways, I enjoyed these poems a lot. they seem to express a lot of the young sentiment. I do enjoy your older ones a bit more, but these are accompanied by a richer vocabulary, and the rhymes are good.

    I enjoyed "Teenagers" the most out of these, it feels like a look towards tomorrow. I know I can't give any CnC, since there's nothing bad here, but do continue to write wonderful poems.
