When you look at me,

Answer

I tend to agree with the comments by SPOOKY relating tobrbrtechnique.brbrThe goal of the poet is to convey to the reader something brbrof themself, and while it is true that to some extent, brbranything you write is fine, the reader must be consideredbrbras well.brbrbrLiterary devices as mentioned by spooky are the quottoolsquotbrbrthat you use to help readers understand you better.brbrI like to think of creating poetry in the same way as I dobrbrcreating a meal. A good chef needs the right quotTools of thebrbrtradequot as well as the right ingredients and a good recipe.brbrLike all things, it takes time and practice, and to use mybrbrcooking analogy again, while your meals may no be to brbreveryones quottastequot, all can appreciate the art of the chefbrbrnonetheless.brbrbrYour work shows promise, and the fact that you ask for brbropinion shows that you take it seriously enough to acceptbrbrcriticism and make yourself vulnerable to strangers.brbrbrKeep up the good work. Read poetry written by others and brbrsee examples of style, metre and other devices.brbrbrGood LuckbrbrJimmybrbrP.S.brbrA good forum for your works is to post them on Yahoo .brbrIt makes them easy to find and new works posted here maybrbrlead to people viewing your other work.brbrFeel free to view a few of my works on my page and votebrbrfor any you like.
