aye, knowledge will set you free and ignorance is bliss and what the bloody 'ell are we to believe? moderation, that word pops up a lot eh.
"Find the cost of freedom buried in the ground." - Crosby, Stills & Nash. The price has been paid, but the goods appear tainted, eh? Your gift expresses much of the pain I feel every day I read the paper, every time I turn on the television. Powerful words... but hard for me to read.
for days and nights,[ ]i as i beg ---leave a spave after each comma ---I know a lot of people use small 'i's but they really bother me... this gift of ours, this garden golden true ---I really like the 'garden golden true', it's a nice phrase. what has it done,[ ]or have we done[?] take back the bleeding,[ ]people starve, ---some of your linebreaks seem a bit awkard to me, like this one. end what has now turned, the soil bombs from nowhere,[ ]but our hands ---I don't know what you mean by 'soil bombs from nowhere' children drink from pools pools of dirt, landings,[ ]moon the money well spent....../? ---Hmmm. I sugges either use a normal ellipsis [... ] or a questionmark this gift,[ ]has stolen our souls, with ripe fruit,[ ]tender joy. darker,[ ]stained land..[. ]oil coal no more ---This is another great section, but the last part seem to obvious. Can you imply the bit about oil/coal without being quite so blunt? I think it might work better that way this gift was here for many a human many a child lost,[ ]cried for days ,nights i[']ve felt such pain... ---conventional ellipses have three dots unless they are at the end of a sentence where they have four. i think it pays to use punctaution is fairly conventional way so people think about your content not your commas who wouldn[']t when a human is killed. this gift was ment to give us LIFE.... ---In my opinion poems should only shout when 'preformed'. You might reconsider those capitals sudden light,[ ]not rays of shine ---'rays of shine' nice but hard reality, to you and me of bloody battles below ,,above ---,,? a gift fucked up...[ ]nature new ---knew? IT would... a [scapegoat] for one and all ------An interesting poem to read in that is varied from very poetic to very blunt. Overall I think it could be refined a little more to make the transitions between the two cleaner and perhaps introduce a sort of rhythm or cadence.
thank you for the replys here yes my poetry is just how i am all i have felt and thought i find the bluntness is very much apart of my life this world and the human race ,, thank you again interesting i remember being told the very same poetic but blunt in college oh years ago...im glad im still the same ...... love n peace from saff mm your replys got me thinking
