Position:Home>Poetry> How good are my poems?


Question:I just express my feelings (Yes they are kinda personal) I write them when I just need to get things out of my system ( I tried many other ways but poems seem to work the best). I haven't taking any classes or anything, so I'm not following any rules. Also which poem is the best? (A scale of 1-10 would work, but you don't have to)(Are they good enough to get published)

1.The pen is my knowledge,
The paper my caretaker,
All that’s left is me.
To spread my wings,
And open my heart.

2.
The knife pieces me,
Fear overwhelms.
Nothing is scary,
But in my mind,
Knifes are everywhere.

3.
I rise above it all,
I rub it off my shoulder,
Though deep inside,
I’m a feather;
Gentle to the touch,
Simply floating to the ground.

4.
I look back at all my old mistakes,
And say goodbye.
Today is a new day,
And I have to live it with,
What I left behind,
I have to live it,
Fresh,

Wave goodbye to victories,
Of yesterday and past,
And say hello,
To new ones,
Not to better,
Just to knew.

Honey, you have the emotions to write great poetry; however, your writing skills and vocabulary could use a boost-up. Think about it, how overused are the terms 'spread my wings' or 'simply floating to the ground'? Poetry is about expression and exploration, not the repititon of cliche phrase. Read up, books, magazines, articles, anything to improve your writing skills. When you do, your poetry would be exceptional

Is this one long poem or many?? I like them, because they express your life and your feelings through the poem. They are good!
