@w-o-holmes Overall, you have strong poetic lines and the rhyming is natural.
You asked for a critique…maybe go through and pick out any unnecessary adjectives. It seems pretty good to me. For some reason, I couldn’t really figure out what was going on–maybe just too much school on the brain though. Don’t take anything I say too seriously. ;P

Hey, guys! Lately, I’ve been experimenting with some silly poetry. (It’s sort of half bad poetry, half good poetry…I’m not sure how to explain it). I’m interested in your opinons. 😉
ALSO, if any of y’all have been writing silly poetry, showcase it on this thread! Weirdness and silliness are welcome!!

@azeline-d I really liked your poems’ themes! Overall, you had vivid word choices which I appreciate. The second poem had great imagery–especially the first three lines.
In a few places, something that would help us as readers would be changing the word order or playing around with word choice. I’m the thinking of “Are a few of very many/That…[Read more]

WOW. What an awesome poem. I especially love the flow of this stanza–
“A city glowing on a hill
Forgets its Builder, forgets Him still.
With hollow morals left to fill
Foundations soon will…[Read more] -

@w-o-holmes I have discovered that I am *very* bad at writing couplets, so I will be back with some decent ones. 😀 They are my new improvement goal!

Emma Starr replied to the topic How Do You Write Your Poetry? in the forum Poetry Discussions 6 years, 9 months ago
@w-o-holmes I usually have a burst of inspiration where something I hear/read/see becomes a line of poetry or general theme for a poem. My best ideas come right before I drift off to sleep and right before I wake up.
I let my mind wander as much as possible within the poem, then edit out whatever I don’t like. My philosophy is if it never got on…[Read more]

@w-o-holmes I’ve been pampered–my family has been making me so much good food that I can eat. <3 I’m on the mend!
Somehow I wasn’t loopy at all! My family said maybe the medicine made me normal because I’m always silly. ;P

@w-o-holmes What a great rough draft! (I wish all of my poems could come out like that in the beginning stages!)
I love the concept of “wrinkled rhyme” and the alliteration there is really cool too. 🙂
