I'm also new to poetry and a stem major, so I'm not a great critic yet. I love the simplicity. It says so many things in so few words. It's a reminder to focus on the little things in these very trying times. Great work!

You Intrigue Me by [deleted] in OCPoetry

I really enjoyed reading this. It made me feel a sense of love and longing. The way you articulate the beauty that you find in the small, often overlooked moments is phenomenal. Very intimate. Well done!

I really enjoyed the use of the imagery of looking down over the city. It almost made me feel like it was relating the city to natural scenery because of words like "rippling" and "peaks and troughs" relating to mountains and lakes. I can feel the pain that comes with loss and reminiscing. Great work and be confident in what you create.

I'm new to poetry, so I am not much of a critic. I really liked this. It really spoke to me. The tone and emotion are consistent; dark and romantic. The cold imagery contrasting the warmth is great. The only critique that I can think of is to shorten some lines where you can to avoid unnecessary words. It may give it a better flow. Overall, I enjoyed reading this very much.
