All Comments on 'I Miss You So'

It's all been said before! This is unoriginal and lacking in depth, pure regurgitated rubbish!

I don't know what you have done to annoy the previous poster, but it must have been something terrible. My advice is to ignore him/her.

Yes, the present submission feels a little generic, a little staid. It lacks structure and a rhythm. It does need a lot of work. But... thats how a good poet is created. S/he learns from their mistakes... they learn where they go wrong, and change it. They learn where they are going right and they utilise that.

One thing I must say in defence of your poem is that I appreciate its directness. It has a theme and an idea, which is adhered to throughout... It does not fall into the hole of subtlety/vaguery/esotericness. It's not filled with words the author probably just got from their thesaurus.

I hope that you do not take the words of the previous poster (I notice also that he/she has also placed a similar comment on your other submission today... unless its someone else entirely) to heart, and let them discourage you. If you are serious about writing poetry and improving, never, ever listen to spiteful and purely negative comments. If they get to you too much, turn off voting and public comments, submit you poems and then ask in the poetry discussion forums for serious critique and feedback (that way, posters cannot hide behind anonymity, and you will be receiving attention from experienced poets).

that spirals down with witty words and twists and turns in descent to a base ending. a very good poem, not sure how some one could think not?

I'm not sure if you're serious about poetry or not. Many post poems here simply for the pleasure of it. If you do want to write better poetry, then keep reading and writing. You're at an exciting stage of discovery.
