So recently I really got into poetry. I'm very new to things, so please be gentle with your critiques, constructive criticism only please. I want to get better. Also be honest! 12 Reasons Why It is so much more. Than a January winter coat, a snug hug More faithful than a February glittered heart Luckier than March shamrocks amongst three-leaved duds Friendlier than a shield against sweet April rain More vibrant than a grinning gold flower in May Crisper than that first chlorine taste of a June pool Hotter than the rays of the ruby July sun More peaceful than a long afternoon August nap More rhythmic than swirling September leaves changing Humbler than a chubby carved October pumpkin More grateful than November's gracious day of thanks Merrier than the largest December present This is how it's felt. (Did you notice that the 12 middle lines had 12 syllables? )
I like it. To be honest I don't know much about poetry so I'm not sure what to say in terms of constructive criticism, but as someone completely ignorant to the subject I thought it was very good.
Thank you! This is actually my second poem I've ever written, and I'm kind of shy about it. I might show it to my friend in another class at some point. Anyone else? I didn't stay up till 10:30 writing for nothing
