I've been writing poetry since grade 5, though fortuanetly my writing has come a long way since then. I'm here because really, the only way I can continue to improve my writing is by reading (and critiquing) different kinds of poetry that I like, and by having the gems and flaws in my own work exposed.
Encouragement and praise is nice to hear, but I've heard alot of that over the years. It's a push that keeps a poet writing, but it seldom does much to refine their work. So please, let me know your opinion, I'll value it. I won't go rewriting my old poems because of it, but it just might help shape my future writings.
As I write new poems, I'll occasionally post one of my older poems as well. Kind've for comparison. Kind've because I like them. ^_^ A '~' in the title of a poem indicates that it is an older poem of mine.

autumns tears : autumns tears on November 28, 2006I would like to thank-you for your honest and always wanted opinion! You have earn my great respect as a reviewer! You are also very correct in your comment!
I am not good at meter and though I feel i need the sing song rhythmn I know that my unrhyming pieces are far more powerful. They come from my true talent and most of the time so fast through my soul and onto the page that I don't even think they came from me
! Con of the gift I guess! Once again, thank-you! I hope you return to read more! autumn -
