    I liked it. Yes, there was some good imagery. I pictured you sitting under the stars on he grass, looking up and thinking about life. Just life and the things you've gone through. Really the poem is more like a scrapbook. We are fed multiple images with spaces in between. The first picture is of thinking on the grass, the second is suffering (I pictured war), the third I just pictured how I used to be when I was loosing myself. I then saw god and angels and a snapshot of you laughing with your grandmother, then I just thought of how I'm better now again. I hope this answered your question. :/ You asked if I pictured anything and that is what I saw.

    Now for the poem part. Just to warn you I'm sort of the Simon Cowell of poetry.

    Overall I thought it was a lovely poem. I could relate to the poem and I could picture parts of my life and parts described in the poem, all in one. I personally feel capitalization and consistency are the picture frame of poetry. It may not be the picture itself but it helps bring out the beauty of the poem and if the wrong frame is picked out, it could distract the viewer from the true artwork. So my advice is, always capitalize I, I've, and I'm, if you're using commas make sure to see if you have any periods in your poem and make sure you're commas are actually doing something for the poem. If they're not used correctly they don't really add to the poem, and to keep up the good work. :) I'd give this a four for the poem itself and a three for the framework. I can't really do that so I'll give you a four because, like I said, it was overall, a good poem.

    I like it! I'm going to be a bit mean and say that I love the feeling and emotion but it needs to flow more. It doesn't have to rhyme but it needs rhythm like a song. Other than that I love it! keep it up!
