How would you improve this poem, I found it, then lost it?..Then found it again?
*

smile,
the alternative is sparse
a semi circle sloped
sliding off your face
night time in it's brevity is
beckoning me now
though dreams
and settled sleep are
nought
to find
I wish that you were here to see my face
the words you wrote
and absolute disgrace, I saw them
and I wondered at your
haste to lay a friendship out
with words so terse
and
I remembered how it used to be
and stronger now
I have broken free.
Not one word
you can say
will damage me at all
as I have found
the ground is not so far
to fall
... I give this mess of words to all to read
and hope that you
will insanity or
something else to plead
good night
may dreams bring comfort to your soul
and know that I
consider you an
*** hole
but pay no mind I love you any way
and in my prayers
I weave you every day
sweet dreams

"consider you an a@sshole"....never made a poem any better...this started out well, and just became a rambling rant...so what is the point?...it lacks discipline and focus...
Hundreds of crappy poems assail our senses every day on Y;'answers...how tedious! I think, with all that to sift through, a poem that doesn't attempt some kind on internal rhyme or at least rhythm is hardly worth evaluating.
If the author could have duplicated the rhythm he set up in the first verse, which was very good, he would've had himself a poem.

Stanza 1 intrigues the reader, giving a gentle
push to Stanza 2, a declaration of meaning
that urges the reader to continue.
Your friend is a gifted story teller.
The poem has the needed momentum
and descriptive elements that make
this poem very interesting.
Your friend is certainly talented.
Perhaps some revision, rewording would tighten this poem up a bit.
On the whole, very good.

Hi liz, whew glad it isn't yer poem.
Um I might alter a couple things in S 2, like even some internal rhyme, and now I wonder who this may have been directed at?
Best for me was the last.

Hmmm. I know people like this. It is hard not to think of them as animated ballistic gel.
But, I seem to catch a hint of wishing well for those who do evil to you. Sounds like granting unasked for forgiveness, even though you know the bad guy in the scene doesn't care.
Very interesting thoughts.

Cut everything from
"... I give this mess of words to all to read"
down.
If not cut, then at least rewrite. It comes off
as a bit trite after an expression of emotion.
The 'mess' represents a state of mind
and it actually does a pretty good job.

Maybe this is worth losing again, but as always, just my opinion. And wishing sweet dreams to an a s s hole seems to speak of a metaphor! lol

And stronger now, I have broken free-- I like this poem. Generally when I'm spittin mad my poetry sounds too hateful and I feel like apologizing after. Tell your friend I like her style.

Hi Lizzy. I am glad some find this poem a masterpiece.
Well, I am not a critic of such magnitude and kinda
feel out-gamed by them. And they agree, too. Wow!
I agree to Neon. You should continue losing the
masterpiece.. ÎÏίμα.
