Heh, that was a short hiatus, wasn't it Doc? Dammit. Look, I know my poems suck, kay but I just want some criticism. Really. Thanks...

Gravid expectations
hold no relevance. I'm so
alive it's sickening. A marble
calm and an alkaline vomit
irks the bullying sunshine.

My mind is a total eclipse,
my mind says no , and yet,
my heart beats yes, yes, yes.

I am a reproachful moon
cascading darkness on this
disgustingly sunny day.

And yet when you grab hold of me,
my history dissovles, my anatomy
depletes, I become a few trinkets.

A poem,
an engagement ring,
a mercury filling.

It's true, it's true
that you're my blood.
Every breath I take
it's for you.

'my mind says no yet'. Should it have been 'not yet'?

It's absolutely beautiful. Unbelievably sweet and romantic but in a very different way... I think I read that right.

I'm absolutely in love with the first stanza, especially 'marble calm and alkaline vomit'.

Very Happy

Wooowwww, love the first stanza to pieces. You managed to cut off each line and begin a new one at the perfect points. That was amazing.

Whoops lmfao I dropped out a comma.

Damn commas are conspiring against me.

I like of it is sort of simple and yet complex. Some words and phrases are very simplistic while others are advanced, and you balance that in a very good way which is one thing I like about this poem. As always I love the structure because it gives the poem such an interesting look and creates a different (but great) flow.

I love the first stanza infinitely too. Cool The phrasing and choice of words are marvellous. It creates such an awesome imagery. I really like that you use rather odd words (for a poem), that makes it all complete. Like a final tough Razz

Personally I find that this part “my heart beats yes, yes, yes.” feels a bit blunt and off. The way you put “yes” gives the line too quick of a pace to make it connect properly with the rest of the stanza/poem. If you want to change it I’d suggest something like this:

My mind is a total eclipse,
my mind says no , and yet,
my heart beats yes, yes.


I find that it fits in better with the rhythm in the rest of the poem. Also, in my opinion, only two “yes” gives more of a heartbeat feeling.

Anyway, great poem as always Up
