Right what I'm looking for really is a way forward, lately I've been struggling with what to write and so I've decided to take a break and read some poems instead and hopefully be inspired.
I'll say now that I love rhyming poetry, however if the flow is good then free verse is definately something I admire (as I can't write it).
However what I'm looking for is meaning, emotion, I want to be wrapped up in the poem and occasionally kicked out the other side.
The options I'm putting forward are all quick thoughts of mine, very short poems only 4 lines long in each case and I'm looking for those to either be used as a possible starting block for a great poem, or as inspiration for your poem the links are as follows:
Option 1

Option 2
http://allpoetry.com/poem/4040207
Option 3
http://allpoetry.com/poem/4117207
Option 4
http://allpoetry.com/poem/4299233
Rules are pretty straight forward, I only ask for 3 things.
1. No Sticky Caps
2. Correct spelling and grammar (though I don't mind slang as long as I can figure out what the hell it is)
3. Thought into the background and font colour, again I want to be able to read it easily.
Swearing is fine, and please put your Option Number and the link in the authors notes.
Thank you and good luck.
PS I will comment on every entry.
