I know the title is from a Green Day song but it's still a nice phrase, it's also mixed with complex descriptions and ongoing imagery. Some great adverbs here that really evoke the tone you seemed to be pursuing. I adored

'abandoned lovers and lamenting poets
join hands and set course towards oblivion'

That couplet alone is worthy of a 5 out of 5.

You know, every time I read something new by you, it's better each time. You keep improving, and it's interesting to watch a poet evolve. Excellent. Keep up the stunning work.

First off, I love the title and how you applied it to this poem:

"On the boulevard of broken dreams,
where hope meets with harsh reality
fragile souls are shattered to pieces"

A very captivating opening, I love the description you give, it makes me feel close to what you are feeling and makes the emotions ever so real.

"when love instilled and nourished
by time and tender encounters
gets swept away by the mighty arms
of logic and reasoning,"

Excellent word choice here, well-expressed thoughts and feelings.

"natural enemies of romantic love
On the scarcely lit pavement
abandoned lovers and lamenting poets
join hands and set course towards oblivion
guided by a darkened sun and treacherous winds "

Wow, that last stanza just stunned me! The imagery you create not only sets a scene for the reader but also entrancing the reader, you brought me into this poem and I am very glad to have read this. Keep up the great work, 5/5 from me, take care!

Ingrid, the title was cleverly used. I like the song and so it brought me in, i wanted to know how you were going to use it.
The wording was really strong in this piece and i liked that a lot.
Your poetry always shows such strength and i really like that.
Keep up the awesome work!
5/5

The title caught my eye, I've heard it before just like Valedico said, its actually a title of a song by Green Day. Anyways, a short and to the point poem again. Simple and holds a short message. Word choice was good, wasnt overpowering or anything.. which is good. Flowed nicely.

5/5.

I agree with the above comments. The titale caught my eye because i love the song. But This is going into my favorites. It was simple amazing. It was so powerful and descriptive. Great work. 5/5

I like the word choice in this piece. I think it would flow better if you changed this line:

where hope meets with harsh reality - Just remove the "with". I also think it should be broken up into stanzas as opposed to all just running together. It was however still nicely done.

That was a very beautifuly expressed poem.

"by time and tender encounters
gets swept away by the mighty arms
of logic and reasoning,
natural enemies of romantic love"

This part really caught my attention! I love the wording here, as well as the very last line of the poem.

You're poems always create a very realistic visual effect.

Wonderful write!!!

Nice poem Ingrid!
Such well put together, beautil words here, describing the age old battle between Love and logical reasoning! The contest that has gone on since mankind first came onto the planet.
I love your verses 'On the boulevard of broken dreams, where hope meets harsh reality', but in truth I love all of them!
Well penned Ingrid!
