You poem had a lot of great ideas and insites, however it seemed to be lacking it's poetic value somewhat. I love your risk theme, so with some of your bored free time you might concider writing it in a more poetic form. Just some thoughts. Still an okay poem James.

The theme and contant of this peice are very good, but i do agree with Tainted Mikochan about the form.

I liked the way you described life so straight forward, you didn't beat about the bush and twist your words to make it sound "better" you just said it how it is, and I admire that. The repetition of "risks" in the fourth stanza worked well too, because it emphasised the title and the whole meaning of the poem. I enjoyed this write very much, good job!!

Hate to sound forward but could you please return the favour on my poem "Orange Peel," I'm really looking for feedback on that piece, thanks.
