Here is a thread where I will be posting my poetry. Some of the poems that I will be posting here is stuff that I've compiled in the past, I will also be posting new poems when time abounds. My poetry will consist of Haikus, Tankas, and Nonets.

Feel free to critique my writing, as that would be greatly appreciated. However, simply saying that you like it or dislike it is not good enough. I'd like for you to post reasons as to why you like or dislike my poetry.

Not all my poems will have titles.

I'll start it off with a Nonet.

Joy and Sorrow
Your liveliness brings me enjoyment
Time with you is gratifying
When I'm with you, I'm happy.
Your smile makes me cheerful
I am lighthearted.
Without you here
I'm depressed.
I lose
Strength.

Yeah your work is good

No.

What?! Why not?


You need to put feedback in your statement. Saying "Yeah your work is good" doesn't help, it just makes the creator (usually) feel good about him/herself. If you say "Your work was good because..." it'd help much more.

It's because giving feedback without reasoning behind it doesn't help me whatsoever. It actually makes me feel bad because I think that the person is only doing it to increase my confidence, but it doesn't do that. It makes me feel bad because the person didn't give reasons as to why it's good or bad.

Each of those pictures took around three-five minutes to make. I kept messing up on them and I wanted them to be exactly how I imagined it in my head.

You realize I said that as an example of what NOT to say, right?

I can't use that flame thingie on this computer, I haven't tried it on the others. =/

Any new/old work coming up? Like a lengthly free form poem?
