Change is Necessary.

I cannot control your role in life,
And so I must despise,
The way that you have chosen.
I see it in your eyes.
Everytime we are together,
I have to see you fade.
You know that I pity you,
You thought you had it made.

even though this was a poem, it still seemed as though it were a story. but sometimes, poems like this are good. however, don't get me wrong! i loved this.

I thought it was OK...the rhyming is unnessecarily pronounced, though. For a poem like this, which a lot of people write, you need to make it special. Write it in a different style, maybe even switch to non-rhyming.

I agree with above, but there were some parts that I didnt like. The rhyming was just unecessary, it would be better as a non-rhyming poem, which would be mostly like a really short story.

Okay this part...uh...doesn't fit, the bottom line should be a little longer, maybe "And so then I must despise" or something?

This part was pretty good, although it ends rather awkwardly. Maybe you should make it a little longer, just a couple more line, to tie in everything together.

Overall, I liked it. It was really short which made it an easy read, I would like to see more of it though. But yeah, it was good.
Gotta a find a woman be good to me,
Who won't hide my liquor, try to serve me tea.



Russets and tangerine shades of old gold flushing the very outside edge of the senses ... deep shining ochres, burnt umber and parchments of baked earth—reflecting on itself and through itself, filtering the light.
