    This is an amazing poem, one of the best ive ever read, my fav bit was:

    Words I've spoken
    gone unheard
    Tears I cry
    Go unseen

    that was so meaningful, i also loved the imagery and metaphors u used in this, it was outstanding, well done

    Your first stanza was really powerful and intense...so was the rest of the poem, but the first lines stand out the most in my mind. different rhyme scheme than I normally see too, but you used it to suit your purpose, so that's ok :).

    good job
    keep it up

    -Thanks for the heads up, I'll edit my poem a little bit.

    I really liked it. I think you used imagery well in this and I liked that you incorporated symbolism mainly into the rain as to create an effect of emotions that could be tied with it. All though I found the rhyming a bit off track in a couple stanzas, I still enjoyed the rythm and movement of it. My favorite lines were,
    "You flee from thee
    Could you please
    Believe in me?"

    Not sure why but those lines seemed to have a ring to them at the end of the stanza.

    One more thing, "that" in line 4 should be "thats" I think?

    Good read

    Ooh, I liked this. The flow was good and I liked the short lines. They really added effect. I also like how you put human emotions into a nature poem. I do this too, i think it's very effective. The descriptiosn were good as was the flow. Nicely done 5/5

    This was ok. I liked the third stanza, it was rhythmic. This poem could pass as a song, simply because of that stanza being so "catchy."
    On the first line it should be "breathe."
    The third line should either be "I try" or "trying" for it to make sense. On the fourth line it should be "that's."
    In the second stanza "you flee from thee" doesn't make sense. "Thee" means you...so you flee from you is an odd line...
    The last couple of stanzas were also good. I can't find any mistakes there.
    Thanks for sharing.

    Sorry these comments are so late! :\

    I really enjoyed this poem, the rhythm was on target, and the emotion was clearly there although I think you could have used maybe some descript words and the title doesn't really capture (to me) the essence of the poem. Still, excellent job! 5/5

    Well, this for sure is very well expressed
    I love the line:
    Hormonal hurricane
    Something about it that i cant explain... amazingly worded!

    This poem has true meaning and I like that. The rythm was quite good and the words flowed. Quite frankly, that's hard to do. Great job! Some spots were a little touchy, and people have recognized that in previous comments, so I'll stop wasting your time. The use of the hurricane and tornado were an added touch. Keep it up :D

    This is a beautiful, beautiful piece. You have a small typo on your 4th line down, but besides that it's basically flawless! :) You did an excellent job skittles! Keep it up! 5/5 for sure.
