This is a great poem
criticism: The only thing I really have to say is go out with a bang. Have the last few lines punch the reader in the gut. As I was reading I was thinking that the last line could possibly be.
"I write as I sit by the warmth of the fire
of war, and hope, and my world, the entire"
You might not like mine, that's fine it's one artist to another. but it feels more sum-up-ish to me which is what I'm trying to get at.
Now the Compliments: I love this poem. I was smiling the whole time I read it. You're absolutely wonderful at imagery.
"I sing of the flowers that dance so bright
in the ever fading light of the whispering night"
Those are my favorite lines of the poem because they make me see and feel what's going on in my minds eye. The ability to make the reader feel what they read is really a talent. And it's a talent that I think you have.
It's an awesome poem
This is soo.. basicly to good for words, you are really good at this i wish I had you skills, I would love to see things through your eyes, you write like you have such a great poetic veiw, just a random question
do you ever see things differently then your friends, because statistics show that artists see the world differently then others and from your writing I definitly think your an artist
