You have the expert hands of a concert pianist
and I want you to play up and down me
like the ivory keys of a baby grand.
Lightly.
Ever so lightly.
Feeling, learning every part of me.
And then growing in intensity.
Urgency.
Until reaching culmination.
Fill me with your music.

"Jane" by @William Saint George
"Your descriptions are lovely. I especially like the comparison to galaxies. And your word use is great too. Very descriptive without being too wordy. Solid poem."

"You ARE a poet as of this moment. Now, just keep producing and make each poem an experiment in new forms and concepts. Never be still. You have what it takes, just practice. If you're curious about it, ask me about the…"

"I agree with Wes, leave the ending alone. It creates not only a vivid image, with its implication of what is being done and the poet's reaction to it, but also creates a vivid sense of feeling that is quite erotic and i…"

"Lingering Scent" by @sueb
"I really liked your rhyme scheme here (and I'm not always a fan of rhyming so it's really impressive for me). I always loved the simplicity of it and how you're able to describe the woman with so few words."

"Dinner Invite" by @sueb
"I really liked the concept of the poem and I especially enjoyed the line: "Torture being so close/ and not being able to kiss you..." It's a very relate-able thought."

About Me

About me

I'm 17 and live in Indiana. I started writing poetry in middle school but I easily lose inspiration and therefore stop writing. I only write when I have something to write about, which isn't often because I'm young and inexperienced. I hope that reading other people's poetry and getting constructive criticism will encourage me to continue and help me to grow as a writer.

Location: Indiana, USA
