Could you rate my poem on a scale 1-10?

Question: Could you rate my poem on a scale 1-10!?

The Fire

Soon I will feel its grasp
Icy fingers around my necks
Holding on for dear life
Taking away my very breath

Love, it’s all I want
Love, it’s just a finger tip away
Love, an endless pursuit
Love, I know my perception is wrong

It’s eating me alive
Burning from the inside out
My heart has turned to ash
From ash things are reborn

Time heals hearts
Time is my enemy
Time holds me down
Time takes to long

Set me free
Let me spread my wings
I’ll fly strait to where you are
Holding fast to the pain inside

From my mouth flows magma
Hot words of passion
But my ears hear only wind
Harsh thoughts of hatred

My eyes behold the spectacle
The phenomenon of life
My hands feel the warmness
Wrapped around my neck

Not very good!. 3-4!.

Friend, don't repeat words like "Love" and "Time" the way you did!. It makes people cringe, especially since it's unnecessary in this situation!.

also whats up with the "icy fingers" are we talking fire or ice here!? This is a conflict of senses here!.

Lol @ "From my mouth flows magma"!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

I give it a 5 because it's ther but not quite!.
The words you repeated sounded weird!. And the words you used were weird too!. like magma!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

A good poem is what the writer makes it, and will have different meanings to different people, with some not understanding it at all!.
A person might read a poem today, then again in a year, or 5 or more, and it might well have a different meaning, or at least the reader understands it differently!.
I've gone over some of the poems I've written over the years, and even to me they may be different!. Sometimes I might change things in them, but I always keep the original!. Save all your poems, things you don't understand about them now, you may be able to years, even decades, down the road!.
If you meant neck instead of "necks" at the end of the 2nd line, don't change it!. It puts some mystery at the very beginning!. Some will think it's a mistake, others will think twice about the meaning of the first verse!.
In the 3rd verse be specific about "what" is reborn!. Things just doesn't cut it for me!. i!.e!., "From ash, the phoenix is born!.!.!." Phoenix, also known as a firebird, does it equate with love!? I think it could!.

6!.5-7!.0, but if I was teaching a poetry class I'd give this an A-!. Hmm!. Maybe an 8 would be better!. I've reread this 3-4 times and I like it!. Gr8 job, Rhett!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
