Smell the cliches a mile off. It's nice, but doesn't do it for me. Sexual innuendo gets a bit dull.
I can see a flickering cloud bank out of my window, also in autumn sunshine. This poem speaks to me. Normally, I don't like the haiku form, but this is very visual and evocative.
Its just a whim. It would amuse me to have officially written the worst poem. The joke would be that yesterday I read something which was just the single word 'fuck'. At least, I, you know, thought about it.
This is now the original version of the poem, in the form of the sonnet, which I think now was much better.
I think the third quatrain lets this poem down a bit; it seems to reduce rather than express her pain. But the couplet is a killer. Well done.
Keats this time? A good and concise response.
Wishes we all have. Nice!
Eerie, or possibly the word is "different"? Still thinking on this one which is a good thing.
Very realistic but I am not sure I would call it poetry.

ok, scary but good
