»A Pseudo-Poem«







I wrote this the other night for a friend who sent me a poem and writes em reguarly and gets them to her alot. I'm not a poem writer, it's not my style of writing, I don't like this piece either, but as a writer I still wanted to see what I was capable of, so in about 5 minutes I conjured up this (please be as critical as you want about my structuring, use of words etc.) oh and I don't rhyme -

Twisted wheels
Keep on turning
With the deformed feeling
One unnamed
But forever fealt
Wheels keep turning

Fire errupts
Ice embraced
Jealousy your only friend
Loneliness your enemy
Scars created
By the Ice
Lives hated
By the Fire

The deformity covers you
You cannot escape its stare
Tears blind
But still it stares
The deformity leaves
New emotions contradict the old
But the deformity returns
On a twisted wheel

Other than some spelling I don't see anything wrong with it.. Thumb Up

I think you need to keep the abruptness of the poem in every line. Like, instead of "With the deformed feeling" it could be "with a deformed feeling".. and "But still it stares" could be "still it stares".. leave the buts out of the beginnings.. if you want the poem to land on the reader with every line, then you have to make each line more powerful in it's abruptness..

Critiquing these modern poem thangs isn't something I'm really good at, sorry..

Hah it's nice to finally see someone critique something creative I did on this site...
When I get a microphone, I might upload some stuff I've written on guitar, it'd be great to hear your criticism on that. Thumb Up

Punctuation, rhythm, line structure, coherence, bottom line, condensation.

All those need to be revised before it can enter the definition of "poetry". Don't give up!
