Do you like my poem? It's about writing poems :-)?

Excellent. Better than the majority of "poetry" I stumble across on this site - in my opinion of course ;)

In particular, your rhyming feels very natural and convincing, and the final line of three or four of your five stanzas are very effective.

Two things to constructively criticize: the line 'It's not my voice that I hear' strains the metre for me - removing 'thats' will straighten this out; and, as someone else picked up on too, the phrase "swollen shore" feels a bit meaningless. Where has this shore come from? What shore?! Do dead poets hang about on a beach? What could this possibly mean? -- It feels a bit romanticised for romanticising's sake.

Good work though. I can tell that you know what you're doing.

In speaking of a persons faults pray don't forgot your own, remember those with homes of glass should never throw a stone. If we have nothing else to do then talk of those who sin tis better we commence at home and from that point begin. we have no right to judge a man till he's been fairly tried, should we not like his company, we know the world is wide Some have faults and who has not the old as well the young, so, remember, the next time we begin to slander friend or foe Remember, curses sometimes like our chickens roost at home.

Writing poetry:

I write poetry myself

It maybe about memories

or in memory of someone

it could be one thing or several

I have done a number of poms

like the river, seasons.

What is involved.

One I did a lot on was friends

love, these are beautiful

along with nature.

Sitting somewhere where its quiet

and start writing.

Your poem is like mine

at least something in common.

Your voice has been heard. All good poets compare themselves to the Master poets. You show a great deal of talent in this poem.

That was beautiful! Very good! Actually gave me shivers ( I get these when I experience somthing very Emotive or touching! Thanks for sharing and never stop writing! :)

I think it's great. If you want constructive criticism, I'd recommend changing swollen shore to something else because it was a little unclear to me what that meant. (But maybe that's just me :) I think it's a great example of Ars Poetica. Hope I helped! :)

You should use quotation marks around the "cabbages and kings" line. The rest is pretty good. Your rhyming is not too hard, sometimes very sweet. You have poetic talent.

lovely poem......just a suggestion if i may to give the last line a better balance....its my voice that i will hear.......then again ..what do i know..I'm just a old fart....seamanab x

you write like thunder

you write with pride

like seeing your words

on this pencil ride
