[font=Times New Roman]2.[/font]
[font=Times New Roman][font=Times New Roman][size=2]Distraught and deceiving, [/size][/font]

[font=Times New Roman][size=2]Your life over pleading,[/size][/font]

[font=Times New Roman][size=2]My mind is conceding,[/size][/font]

[font=Times New Roman][size=2]Give up.[/size][/font]

[size=2][font=Times New Roman]
[font=Times New Roman][size=2]My heart over powered[/size][/font]

[size=2][font=Times New Roman]
[font=Times New Roman][size=2]Enticing and striking, emotions enlightening,[/size][/font]

[font=Times New Roman][size=2]Confusion is owner of all,[/size][/font]

I liked both of your poems very much but I like the second one a lot more because it is more like my genre of poetry...Keep up the good work ;)

[Retribution]

Well, Hot D.amn! Good stuff there, Arunue. I love the meter in the 2nd one, and the point you get across. The first one I didn't like as much, because it was blatant, and I felt like I was stumbling on a few words here and there.

Overall, the emotions you convey are great! Keep it up.

Directed poetry is supposed to be expressive >:/ or else it doesn't work :/

[Muad'Dib]

[FONT=Palatino Linotype][COLOR=Navy]Mmm, yeeez... the second one does flow and sound better, but the first does convey more emotion... um, as stated above. And it's amazing how much vocabulary one can squeeze into three stanzas...

I'm done.[/COLOR][/FONT]

Here's another, directed towrds an old friend, he's not on the OB anymore, to bad too, he's an awsome RPer.

Trival error with a
Single misleading torment,
Distant as ever before our friendship,
Loveing you with such a passion
That is anything but content.

Aroused in such a passion and
Demanding all my attention,
Amused in all this failure and
Misunderstanding my intent.

Nothing ever will be the same,
We cannot pinpoint who's to blame,
My heart's been broken, torn and shattered,
Started by a trival game.

[color=deeppink][size=1]I enjoyed these! The first one could use some work, but I really liked these two lines:

"Never give in to seduction and bliss,
Especially when I insist. "

I love that kind of slap-in-the-face irony, and that you've achieved in two lines here is very good. Some of it just seems bitter and artless though.

The second was better, especially the last two stanzas. I liked the metaphor between the solider who is a coward and the type of lover he(she?) is towards you. Nice alliteration with "sweet seraph of hell".

The third was about on the same level as the second. The last line was sharp and poignant, which I think is fantastic in poetry. I also liked the first two lines - the idea that a simple mistake can lead to huge, horribly beautiful mess.

Keep Writing!

[font=Tahoma]Well, I'm glad you liked them. And I don't like the first one either. I didn't have much to go on, I need to write something better for him. [/font]
