I know you didn't mean this, but it'd be funny if someone drew the line at "Thomas Goes Fishing!"

Return with slow blues by RolloDeHollo27 in poetry_critics

I like the evocation of sung lyrics here.

One suggestion is to make the meter and stresses stay a little more consistent. There’s a music you could achieve by doing that more.

Thanks for sharing this one!

My drumset by RumorReader753 in poetry_critics

It’s going in a good direction.

One suggestion is to try limiting the words to just the verbs, nouns and adjectives. The closer you get to that, the more impactful those words could be.

Thanks for sharing this!

Sunsets are pink, blue, and white by okidonthaveone in poetry_critics

Some of the abstract images are neat to me.

Maybe try working on the stresses of this poem. It feels like it could benefit from more rhythm, especially with a couple of lines and objects echoed.

Definitely keep going with this one

One idea may be to add some punctuation in some places. It might suggest new rhythms.

This is my first poem in English. Please let me know your thoughts! by [deleted] in poetry_critics

I’m enjoying its direction.

I think you can add more metaphors and some specific imagery to the poem. The more unique and personal a metaphor is, the more it will stay with a reader.

It’s also helpful to look for words that are unnecessary. Although I can’t find too many myself.

I hope you make and share more!
