Love Poems, in couplets. Bleh. It was alright, not as good as some of your other pieces. You seem to be at your best with vivid imagery, splashed alongside some scattered Portugese (I really hope I remembered that right. It is Portugese, right?)
Pretty good. I liked the metaphor and language, though the structure wasn't always spot on, and the imagery didn't really pick up till the second stanza.
Loved it, with the exception of the last stanza. Not sure what bothered me about that bit. But I liked the feeling and imagery, and loved the word choice, so it got my vote.
The poem that I submitted this week is deeply personal. I usually wouldn't share something like that, but I wondered how it would be received by our little Personal Writing community. At the least, it doesn't seem to be a winner. To be expected

The Poet’s Struggle by LogicX
Enjoyed it, largely because I'm your target audience. Well crafted, regardless. Got my vote.
Dead Rabbit by BlippyTheSlug
Definitely up to par, guess it just wasn't a "Vote for Blippy," week.
Imagine this poem was a witty one liner. by Niv
No.
To Brighid by Talore
Felt a little dated, not sure if I can expand much more than that. Cool concept though.
The Fall of the Wild by kpaca
Pretty good. I liked the metaphor and language, though the structure wasn't always spot on, and the imagery didn't really pick up till the second stanza.

Appetizers by skyheartchaos
Liked the poem as a whole, just not as much as the two I voted for. Nice imagery, and cool structuring (inside of the Haiku format, anyway).
Join the Poetry Running Contest!
yes, I write in Portuguese.
Your post culture is also pretty good, but I'm sticking with this witty one liner.
Yes, I'm feeling minimalist today.
