An essay. A statement of position. Not a poem. I agree with you.

This is the kind of poem that wins contests. It probably brought loud applause if you read it before an audience. It has the normally desired elements. And donât get me wrong, I enjoy its flow and appreciate the images and descriptions. But it sacrifices meaning for prose, follow-through for rhythm. It is like a beautiful melody having lyrics that seem beautiful because of their attachment to the music.

And where would we be without them? A poignant reminder.

Quite nice.
I'd leave out "heavenly" on line 3, and "lost" in line 5.
Line 6: "As the breeze stirs . . .
Omit "The totality of"
A beautiful scene.

A good thought in need of control. Get a grip on that yarn, tighten it up.

Your support is all that's needed to gain you a lucrative post, perhaps on the Atomic Energy Commission.

Thanks for the insight. Perhaps itâs true that we each have a soul, and it makes us who we are in spite of our efforts. Perhaps Iâm enslaved by that soul and its controlling deity, kicking against the goads. Iâd rather say Iâm open-minded and ready to consider opposing forces even while looking a fool in the conflict.

This one is touching, but a little too maudlin, simple, and contradictory. I usually don't comment on these.

You mean that was not on purpose? He's so deceptive, isn't he?

I see it has already headed for that no-good end. And I had such a good answer for your ecumenical American Christianity comment, too.
PS-You misspelled occasionally, ecumenical, and Islam.

Do you mean hostage? Poemranker has always been hostile.

That's a ridiculous generalization. Hey, I keep using that word. Maybe I should just use that word. Hey, thanks.

I need a strong word here to show his ridiculous disrespect. Itâs amazing how much some women will put up with from a man and still give him another chance. Maybe something like bowlâs.

She's young and donât know nothing âbout life. A good He-done-her-wrong-song. But is crying bold? It seems more an escape from bold. The last verse - a nice switch.

That's a religious-sounding moralist answer, like a pulpit-pounding preacher might rant. Try again. On second thought, let's leave it here lest it become a name-calling exercize with no good end.

All poems are useless drivel. The human race is useless drivel. Hey, two peas in a pod. Neither on better than the other. I feel better already.
