I liked the poem, short and to the point. One thing I didn't quite understand however was the use of apostrophes. It didn't seem necessary as far as I could tell the words you used them on were neither possessive or a contraction. I suppose you could of meant "something is too difficult to say" but it seemed more like it should be "some things" and that you were just using the apostrophes to make the words plural when it isn't necessary. I did really like the rhyme scheme though. Flawless and not forced at all. The poem as a whole flowed really well. I could relate to the poem, I think most people can, because as the poems says "everyone has secrets" I think my favorite stanza was the first one though. I feel that it gives the reader a straight away view of what the poem is about, while also telling one of life's truths. We all have secrets and even those who know us best will never know everything, and there truly are things that it takes to much to let go of. A short write, but a good one. |

I disagree, I think that the rhymes seemed a little forced, and the flow was a little rocky, due to the up and down syllable count. |

I'll simply start with the title ("Wall of Silence"): I think that it fits to the poem and is eye-catching. It doesn't give too much away and is not too vague either, it's a really good mixture, besides I also like the atmosphere it creates. |
