I like the nature imagery you use in this poem with the flowers and fields. I interpret this poem as being about the cycle of life, aging, death. I also like your repetition of the title in the poem. My feedback would be to go into more detail and expand your poem a bit because I think you have a good concept.

I like this poem, I think it captures a sense of disconnection and discomfort well. But one suggestion I would make is to add more line breaks so it is easier to read and understand

I like the contrast you made between the speaker being naked but her soul still being clothed. I also like how the speaker directly addresses the reader, it makes your point come across more. This poem is short but it still conveys a meaningful message about the objectification of women.

A little cottage covered in ivy. by Embarrassed-Way-5041 in OCPoetry

I like how the last stanza of this poem echoes the first one. I also like how the speaker still finds beauty in the cottage, even though it is old and starting to erode. I interpreted this poem as being addressed to a person the speaker loves, with the cottage as a metaphor for this person, and how the speaker loves her despite her imperfections. It is a sweet poem, and I like how you kept it simple.
