CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Hehe... thanks. I'm going to do some more work on it.
It may turn into something sad and depressing, but it's just a reflection of my feelings.
Edit: Okay, I did some more work on it.
Feel free to say whatever you want.
...the poem is not just words but a reflection of my feelings...

Ah, so basically, don't say anything bad about it
It's a good poem. It's well written. I honestly couldn't write a poem to save my life.

Phleace, I am going to be brutally honest.
This is less a 'poem' and more a long peice of disjointed prose.
In fact it reads far more suited to a diary than a poem.
I do, however, respect that applying ones thoughts and musings to paper will help one to focus.
In that case I hope it helped you; you are the intended audience if such was your intention.
However, as far as a literary work, it lacks style and originality.
If you want further critique of this poem in literary sense, I by no means belittle the emotional context or the validity of it as a personal vent, I can do so, but I will refrain from such now.

ouch?Phleace said:Ouch.
I do apollogise for the hurt to your feelings.
However: blind praise for a work will have you assuming that it is a perfect thing, without flaw, spot or wrinkle.
It is important that anyone who wishes to grow as a writer, be it poetic or otherwise, should not only accept critical (not cold hearted - critical) reviews from whomever will extend their mind to the task but should seek it actively.
Mothers are for blind praise, to comfort and make you feel good. Peers are there to provide critique, to make you do better and grow.
Remember that our beloved bibles admonish us to accept correction (critiques are the road to it) and to turn not from a critical view.
I certainly hope you can use what I have said to help you to see the flaws that you may be spurned on to greater heights - better works.
And then on to help others.
