@joseph_darkgrate I LOVE THAT POEM. The images are perfecttttt. Well done.

@the-fledgling-artist I love the vibes of these poems! <3  Also I think you have natural feel for word choice…very very nice. 🙂

In your future poems, think about experimenting with line-length and flow of the poem, being intentional about the pacing.

When you decide on a rhyme scheme, before you begin the poem, try writing out a bunch of…[Read more]

@libby I don’t write fiction actively, but I read a lot of writing/about writing so that helps my editing skills. I’d be happy to read your work. 🙂

@k-a-grey Aww, thanks! I didn’t know that was you! I appreciate your support. 🙂

@sir-leeds I love your poem!

I do see what Story Ember meant now about the embellishments. You’re not flaunting a bunch of different poetry techniques in this poem (but you do use vivid language). Also, the poem’s character is a child, so there is power in the simplicity of the character’s voice. 🙂

I love the ending lines:

“And the lonely lamp…[Read more]

@k-a-grey Really! I love your poems. I’ll be the first to follow you if you ever do decide to blog! 😉

I don’t know…I only started blogging in May. Something that is important is to make blogger friends. You comment on their posts, they comment on yours, they tag you, you tag them, etc. It helps get your blog out there so people know about…[Read more]

@w-o-holmes Aww, thanks! I’ll post more when I write them. 🙂

@sir-leeds @k-a-grey Thank you so so SO much for all the amazing feedback. 🙂 I’ll be sure to tag you all when I post the next edit!

@sir-leeds Would you post that poem about the children? I would love to read it! Also, I made an account with Submittable. 🙂 I didn’t know Footprints in the Sand when I wrote my poem, but I see the similarity that…[Read more]

@anne_the_noob14 Thank you!!

@sir-leeds I appreciate your feedback! What I’m actually trying to convey is a process of healing over the course of a year. As the seasons go by (with similar themes in each), the girl becomes more and more reconciled. In that light, what changes to you think should happen? Maybe what’s happening in the last section…[Read more]

@evelyn Our local book/coffee shop has a magnet poetry board hanging on one of the doors inside. People put together lines of poetry from the little magnets and you can be inspired and make your own. It’s really cool.

@e_elaine_soup5 I love the song lyrics one. Sun-split clouds is a great image! The haikus were great too, especially the line “we light stuff on fire.” 😀

@k-a-grey

THAT IS SO PERFECT. XD I love the perspective… That poem is one of my top favorite funny poems ever written. *double high five*

Do you blog anywhere?? I would love to read more of your poems. I love them!!

@w-o-holmes These are very personal opinions…PLEASE take with a bucketload of salt and of course, do what you like!

“Nor take that wherewith was not mine.” (Wherewith seems a little out of place. I actually haven’t heard it used I modern poetry, so I may just be unaware of the meaning. Possibly find a synonym?)

“Unto the fiery gates of bliss.” (…[Read more]

@w-o-holmes Cool! 🙂

Coming back fresh, I actually really like that line. I think you should keep it!

Also, maybe what makes it a bit confusing for me is a couple of words like “wherewith” are not what I’m used to, so it’s harder to process the meaning of the poem.

@evelyn That means so much to me! <3

@w-o-holmes I love writing haiku! Here’s one I wrote a while ago:

Prey

The ancient owl

Steals softly through the black night

The mouse hears nothing

and here’s another from my blog:

Stories

I hold paper worlds

in my hands: bursting, unfolding;

My eyes see visions
