Question: Poetry critics should I publish a book or not!?
Untitled

My feelings have changed and I am at ease
No more fights and insults the moment I will cease

My heart is in pain but I will be strong
There is only one person giving me strength to go on

He is the wind that brushes my hair
He is the rain that splashes off my nose
He is the sun that glares into my eyes
He is the cold that reddens my cheeks

I will be alone away from love and embrace
But I know I am right when I look in his face

I will give up for now on finding a mate
Destiny gave him to me my hands hold his fate

He is my bright little star
He is the reason I have come this far

Every time someone had to tell me NO
I would perk up my mood and I would grow

My only option is to breathe and proceed
Waiting for the day that he takes the lead

Teaching him everything my life has shown
Helping him carve a future until he is on his own

His name is Angel and he is my son
I may have lost you, but you see with him I have already won

Don't fret, J!.!.!.and don't worry about the critical savvy of someone who says, "to the max!." I used to suck at poetry, but I got better!. I practiced and read and studied!. This doesn't suck, it's just missing the basic poetic elements!. You need to use metaphors, instead of simply telling us your story!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Depends how old you are!. Besides, poetry isn't a way of making money, so you shouldn't expect much to come out of this!. It's just not as popular anymore : /

I'm not saying that you don't have talent, just saying that it's very difficult to get poetry published now, in fact, it's difficult to get any kind of literature published!.

Editing Note:

Jennifer Lynn Hill would look brilliant on a book though!. I envy your wonderfully poetic name!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Your poems make me cringe!.
They are cliché to the max!.
I was not captured by this, and I would not finnish your book!. (Judging by this I mean)!.

But write more and more and more, take some classes, and things like that!. Write so many poems that you go crazy, then write your book!.

I will tell you in full honesty, that this is the best poem I have seen on answers!. It was actually critique-able!.

Sorry to be harsh, nothing personal, I am just a picky poet!. If you want to give it a shot at publishing try, people would probably buy it once or twice!. But I would not, not until you have something interesting and original!.

Try and cut it shorter, people can't pay attention to long poems!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
