Re: Stallord's Corner

Quality over quantity my friend. You have great potential and great ideas. But your work could be better. If you take the time to strengthen your poems with structure and beautiful imagery, rather than trite descrtiptions and passive verbs, your poems could be much better.

My advice:
  • Don't change meter between stanzas of similar structure
  • Keep the rhyme scheme constant or abandon it. Breaking from it too often weakens the overall effect.
  • Avoid commonplace metaphors.
  • Punctuation strengthens,clarifies, and seperates your points, your meaning. Use punctuation like you would if writing a story.

But not bad. Your poems are looking good, so don't stop writing.
