Theo asked in Arts & HumanitiesPoetry · 8 years ago

Critiques are needed, please. Be truthful and tell me if it sucks.?

Loser

By: Theo Jacot

Hola! How’re you doing? Yah… busy Saturday?

Is what should have been asked.

Wow! Someone is looking ravishing today.

Is what should have been said.

Instead, this bizarre and angelic being;

Resembling an hourglass from heaven

Came and asked,

Hey did you do last night’s homework?

Enthralled by the thought of acknowledgement,

Enamored by her mere presence,

Engulfed by her hymn,

Entranced, I stood like still water, uninhabited by life.

Silence ravaged the atmosphere,

And the crickets danced their nightly rituals.

My muse, my chance escaped my grasp

And from her breath silently escaped, loser.

    looking like a poem

    At least from a distance.

    Yes, we've all been there!

    The poem works well.

    Well observed (although "hourglass from heaven" sounds glib - perhaps that was deliberate?)

    The repetition of "En..." in the third stanza is a nice touch, and shows you know what you're doing with the poetic form.

    On a more practical note, try again with your vision - you've nothing to lose!

    its really well written with a strong ending, it has structure

    Most people don't actually have a knack for this but i think you do and i have seen alot that get good responses even though they aren't that great but this is extremely good.

    I like it a lot. I think it's good the way it is.
