No more talking.
No more walking.
No more breathing in.

Like flames hot orange flames inside of my body, it burns. I wish you could feel them.

No more talking.
No more walking.
No more breathing in.

These flames would probably incinerate you, but I want you to feel them wrap yourself within them. I watch, I laugh, I cry. Sad, no.

No more walking
No more talking.
No more breathing in.

I see you staring at me trying to figure me out, you cant. What is that? O you want me to help you. Don’t you like my flames? No. Too bad their warm.

No more walking.
No more talking.
No more breathing in.

Well you don't Encourage Critiques, so I really don't know what to say about this one.

Except maybe it should be in the Teen section.

OK.

Your poem reads more like a death threat than a poem Verg.

If you want to get your point across that you would like to see someone die do it with shadow.

Don't just go out and scream it from the roof, write it on the basement wall... if you know what I mean.

It has Potential.

Much better.

Now you can read the conflict, feel the anger and get a hint of what you would like to see.

Without it sounding like a threat.

Good job.

"Don't listen to him you're stuff was really great I loved it!!"

Are you referring to the latest version or the first one, as I feel this new version is so much better, not only in layout but flow as well.

Just my opinion though.

Fair enough.

I hope my words didn't sound too harsh regarding your poem Verg.

I must say this new incarnation is Very Good.

umm, interesting, i think that in the stanza you repeat it goes better in my head when it reads "no more breathing in" it seems to flow better- but that's just my personal opinion.
