New Era Criticism Please

Today I was born My days were gone I want to live a fresh life In case of the day I will be gone And to refresh my past leave And to less be a lion I am a goon I have received gong But those days were gone I am now young In my days of young I aimed to be the most strong So that whenever I am going People on the pavement would be trembling However, I am a graduate With force I finished my SHS grade, but Now, each day stream drip My eyes are faint and deep Those days of not aged I imitate my fellow friends Which make us A congenial friends 8/8/15 This write based on a man who use his youth a thuggery, but latter in future he realized his mistake. Today I was born: human will be born twice before they die; I mean when One is of aged or grown old Pavement: road side Please I need criticism on this!

AM, I like the fact that your English is not perfect, I think it adds to the charm of your writing, my suggestion is to break away from the left margin writing at times, put in some indented lines or center your poem or break it up into shorter stanzas, sometimes after I write a poem I play with until I think it is visually appealing to the reader but I like this and the message is good 7 and thanks for visiting my randomling poem

A7 , as is but trust me you could better the poem by some editing to smooth it out some.... note , just my personal view--you the artist must decide what you write and how you care to improve it. Reject and adopt what works best for you my friend.. Your have poetic talent-- so grow it and be proud!

Advice-- here goes.. You have great passion, great lines come to you but slow down, sort the verses as they come. Write as it comes and resort later to make it flow better. I do this myself often myself. Sometimes the brain crashes out verses we must take time to make it more sensible. And stay focused on one topic-one theme- in each poem unless otherwise intending to cover a bigger base.

Your mind set flows gently onto the page and we can relate with you and where your words lead us. A poem offering quiet reflection on the essence of being human and sharing an experience intrinsic to our species. Emile.

When ideas rush into our mind we should take the time to put them in order according to what is more important for us. It is better to write more about a single idea than to write less about a plethora of them. You have passion which is characteristic of a young person but you have not to let it run wild. Your talent is obvious. Use it wisely. You asked for criticism. This is a fatherly advise! Powerful writing!

I'm so much grateful to you, I like you comment it is helpful. Poetry give me joy, I don't plan to leave it for life and a situation where by I will be told to find something else to do I don't want it, the only way to make me strong is to criticize me poem. I love that. Thank you very much.......A.M.
