I decided I'd try and post some of my poems on here, since I liked the first line poem thread so much. I would really like some advice on how to improve. Thanks!
Conclusions made from my experiments from usual material(poems).... People like my drawings better than my poems. People like my short stories better than my poems. :/ Interesting.
That is not a failure! It is a very nice little penguin!
Coloring is all wrong. DX
I'm confused. Why does the penguin have bunny ears? Also, I wish I could draw that well. All my talent seems to have gone to writing no fair!
The penguin has bunneh ears in reference to my Exit Path avatar. Well, it goes sort of like this Wolf's writing>Tacky's writing+drawing Thanks though!
If you joined earlier, you could have entered the Way Of Moderation. I think you would have liked it. Nice work. Prettyscetch.
Thanks!
I wish I could have joined the WoM. T.T Well, that's why Moon and I are collaborating on the Adventures of AG!
I like your choice to get away from simple words and using their synonyms. Your imagery is very descriptive, and I feel your metaphors. When you use a metaphor I definitely know what it means. In other words, nice choice of words when you write a metaphor. Unfortunately, I don't feel the same "zing" I get whilst reading your poetry from your short story. I'm sure if you used a bit more description the story would be a bit better. Although I enjoyed the 3rd part, the 1st and 2nd were "meh." Overall, if I were to give you a rating out of 10, I'd say you deserve a 8.5/10. Keep it up! Just so you know, I didn't read it from beginning to end. *applause*

Some people have said that to me already, so I will try to improve on that.

Thank you. A 85 is a B, which is something I can live with. I'm just wondering which pages you read, because I might be able to direct you to some of my better poems if you just read my limericks or something. :P
You draw amazing heads... Just sayin'. Nice job with the BB coding, and also the drawing of course...
Between my fangs you will feel The darkened gaze of death. And as my jaws bite down You'll breathe your final breath. I'll devour all of your heart, Your soul and dreams are mine, And as you struggle to be free, Only rusty chains you'll find. Who am I? You ask as I coil, Inside my hellish lair, And I say, grin spreading wide, I am called despair.

It seems to follow a rather standard format you have. Not saying that's a bad or good thing, it just is. The imagery invoked a picture of a vampire stalking and feasting a prey. And I mean the creepy soulless kind. The rhyme scheme and flow are steady though I'm a little worried you've seen too much of my stuff of late...
Oh, Wolfeh, you worry too much. I was just in a creepy and soulless kind of mood, like always. :P I realize the standard format thing, and I am working on changing it. Thanks for reading mah poetry!
Sleep
paralysis of sleep, drifting deep, To passages of mind and thoughts I keep. Falling, crawling, the enthralling scenes of horror do unfold. The venom spreads and I do dread Sleeping as the wights take hold. Guilty thoughts that sting and ring All the wrongs forgot for long now sing. My ears ring with fears diving To the withered ground through striving, Crushing those opposing with my boots, Only to be tripped by the ragged roots. I flee fast from demons past, Glaring, staring with spiteful eyes. I cannot hide inside my own head, And I stumble My world crumbles I've become the things I dread.
