Wow, great response! I totally agree that the poem has strong stanzas followed by weak and I do think that last part of it just isn't really that great.

I'm glad some of my imagery struck a chord with you and appreciate pointing out where it falters. I'll definitely keep it mind in future poems. As I said, this is an old (and the first) poem I wrote. Check out some of the others I've posted here, I would love to know what you think.

I really appreciate the comments, welcome to Hubski!

Awesome. Then I will continue, hopefully giving you better feedback too as I get better at doing it. I've got some poems I'm thinking about posting if you are interested as well!

How has hubski been for poetry? I feel like this place has potential; so far the whole following mechanic has already created a less anonymous feel compared to reddit.

Yeah, it's cool. If you type poetry into the search field on the top right it will come up with all the post under the poetry tag. If you follow lil he posts and shares a lot to do with writing and provides writing prompts.

indeed Floatbox and I have somewhat met. Great job on the realtime commentary. I'll try to get to your poem rezzeJ, but am somewhat swamped for the moment.

I am totally inspired by the hubski poetry. One that blew me away appeared here by humanodon. thenewgreen strangely seems to also have an appetite for poetry probably because of his awesome songwriting.

Thanks lil, I fancy myself more of a lyricist than a poet but there is certainly a lot of overlap in the two disciplines. One poet I keep hoping will post an original poem is cW. I enjoy the #poetry tag quite a bit. Also, Floatbox, welcome to Hubski!
