Question:

What do you think of my poem?

A couple cling to one another,
They share a broken heart,
Around the corner is a place,
With the one thing they desire.

The place holds many wonders,
All left to rot in a bag.
This is the home of a monstrous creature,
This is the home of the reeper.

A woman aproaches the reeper's lair,
She carries a lump of beauty.
But the reeper does not see the beauty,
He sees the money in her hand.

She leaves his lair and runs to the bridge,
She is stopped in her tracks,
By another crying, dismayed woman,
Together they jump off.

Two graves stand so tall in the church yard,
One for each woman's death.
But there's one death without a grave,
A baby who was never born.

Your main character has no spine, and she's already dead in the first verse. Not much development in character imagery. She wouldn't have made a good mother anyway, cause she couldn't make a decision and stick by it, such as loose the fetus. Sadness or victory? Isn't her final jump a victory over her own insecurities and fear? At least symbolical? Or does it show her crying weakness that makes me happy she's not a mother growing another unstable person with potential to be a menace to society? These points are not very clear, nice words, but it doesn't really say anything! Except I don't like abortion, could've just said that!!
