Hey gurls and guys. I'm Raven. I'm new here and I just wanted to get some feedback on my poems and to look at everyone elses to get some motivation. I wrote this one for a friend who left his mother in England to come back to the US b/c he missed his other family and friends. Now his mom is laying a total guilt trip on him. I posted this in Teen Explorer and Dopey_Dope told me to come here to get more exposure. So here it goes...

Drowning

You drown in your existence
You can't accept the truth
She's gone and there's
Nothing you can do
Try to smile and
Can't even last
You friends try so hard
But they can't even make you laugh.
Your never gonna make it
With being so sad
So rise above baby
And don't be so mad.
She's cold hearted and wrong
If she can't see...
How beautiful you really are
Especially to me.

Feedback is appreciated good and bad. Thanks guys!!

This was exceptional. The title was very well thought out, and the format of the poem made it flow wonderfully.
And teen explorer? What's that?

Oh I love it! It's absolutely wonderful, because I have a friend (Who you don't know VALERIE), who's really close and has a lot of guy rouble, and I love her, so anway, keep writing, it's wonderful. Don't let these people harrass you about mechanics and proper style though, it's all about expression, do your own thing.

well it's good to see you followed my advice........but you double posted the same poem in two dif. forums.......that's not alloud. I'm not a moderator or anything, but either the thread here or in the explorer will be closed.
I recomend the one in teen explorer be closed due to it having less replies....so yea somebody contact walt......

Good poem though, I enjoyed reading it a second time!!!


I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow

I think that was really good. I'm not sure, but i'm inferring that, this was about a person who loves or cares alot about someone who is hurting. That really hit home. It's a great peom. THanks for sharing.
