Question: What Do You Think Of These Poems!?!? Be Honest Please!?
Poem 1

Staring at the garden I wonder
Why don't black roses grow
And why dont white roses come with blood
But right now all I want
Is my lack Rose From Mr Right

Poem 2
Every night laying in bed
Fighting the pain
Fighting the tears
Wanting iit all to end
Oh how i wish that it all could just end
and then I pray when
I wake up I find that it is
All just a dream
And that it never
Really Happened

I like the first one especially!.

In some ways it seems to be quite a traditional poem - you're wondering why Mr Right won't turn up with a rose!. Simple!.

BUT!.!.!.at the same time the poem shows that your feelings aren't simple, and they aren't traditional!. You want a black rose - not the colour normally associated with love or romance!.

And then the line "and why white roses don't come with blood" - this could be read in a few ways:

1) blood is red, the colour of traditional romance / roses, so you're wondering why the roses you CAN grow (i!.e!. the feelings that you DO feel) doesn't fit into traditional or "normal" ideas!.

2) blood could also be a symbol of courage or strength (as in "bloodless" to describe something weak or boring) - so you're wondering why you don't find so-called "pretty" flowers (i!.e!. normal ideas of romance) to be interesting or stimulating!.

3) you see the white rose as a symbol of yourself, and you're wondering why you can't be stronger and take command of your feelings better

4) "come with blood" could also mean that you have put your own blood - i!.e!. your hard work and passion - into growing the roses, but they still won't "come" (i!.e!. flower / bloom)!. So you're wondering why even though you've totally committed yourself to finding love, it still hasn't happened!.

And in the last line, i love that typo, you wrote "lack" instead of "black" which is sort of fitting - this is a poem about the "lack" of something after all!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

everything after 'black roses grow' was crap!. Read the Nightengale and the Rose by Hans Christen Andersen!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

They are good if your a dark souled person!.
Try to think more positive and make brighter poems to light people up, instead of darkening their ideas!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

They need more of a sense of rhythm, at the moment they look like prose broken up into lines!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Shakespeare hates your emo poems!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
