it bums me out when people say

'Oh, I'm not a poet, just trying it out.' It just makes me think, maybe I shouldn't read this persons work because obviously they don't think it's very good because they've qualified it with that silly warning. There's only a couple words that the average reader might not understand, all in the first stanza--but I can tell you write prose because you overdid it with the thesaurii. I liked a lot of the poem, I just think you could of written it better and simpler ala a 'beauty' in place of a 'pulchritude'...

Potential here

I do agree with bflagsst about the vocabulary, but I think what this poem showcases overall is that you do have discernible talent. A way with words. Palpable potential. Please continue with your work! This poem was mentioned in today's New Poem Recommendations on the Poetry Feedback forum, so feel free to drop in and take a look. Thank you for sharing.
