im still new to this whole poetry thing. no one has read any of my poetry before this website so im would love some tips and critisicm, i need all the help i can get.With all my heart,THANK YOU.

unspoken  anger pulses through my body,
foriegn thoughts fill my head
entangling me in confusion.
Involuntary actions leak out of my closed mouth and pores.


i know it weak and not that good. So please be honest and just tell me what i need to do.

I was reading another poem you posted as well and i absolutely love your word choice. You should work on your stucture, tho.

With God I am happy; sadness has no say in my life.

Follow Christine's advice on the structure part. She has a good idea to how to fix a poem.

Structure does need some work and some stronger thoughts would help a bit too I do believe. That's just my opinion though.

if you were going to structure this poem, how would you (gothcherry) go about doing this?

"Structure refers to several poetic elements. The line is one of the basic building blocks of poems. How you organize your lines, how your strophes look (if they're stanzaic or 'freeform'), all of this goes to structure. In addition, how your poem proceeds from its beginning to its end--its twists, turns and tangents--also has to do with structure."

That's what structure is basically. Just sorta the story line and how you tell your poem (or story) I like your choice of words in this. But like everyone else said structure is off. Keep trying!!
