Forum Home » High Critique » Seriously... Examine my poems under a microscope..

For poets who want unrestricted constructive criticism. This is NOT a vanity workshop. If you do not want your poem seriously critiqued, do not post here. Constructive criticism only. PLEASE Only Post One Poem a Day!!!

Perhaps it is due to the fact that I rarely use punctuation. I would appreciate if you could go to one of my poems and harshly critique it; or advise me on how to import a poem to this page. Much thanks-j l connelly

If your city or state has a poet laureate try to contact them to see if they give workshops. Always, always, always read more poetry than you write. Read the best poems you can find. The quality of the poems you read will seep into your own writing and will influence your habits and values as a writer. If you spend all your time reading beginner poetry, that is what you will think is good, and that is as far as you will go. Start at the top. Develop good habits first.
