1st poem here: 'Precious Time'.

[poppoetry]

Your poem has a lot of non-specific adjectives like "beautiful" and "precious" that add nothing.  You use "so" at least three times and it's really nothing but a noise.  We know you feel a connection to this place only because you tell us in very straightforward terms -- to make it really unique, you need to show us.  Focus on images rather than skimming over them with a list of random compliments.

And now we reach a dilemma, because like Todd, I could spend some time giving you pointers but you state in your original post -- and then seem to reiterate in your reply to Todd -- that you don't edit, that you like things just the way they are.  In that case, what you're looking for is a bit of feedback, but not critique.  I suspect that Todd spent upwards of an hour reading and dissecting your poem for your benefit but as there is no indication that you have in fact "taken it on board", I'm not sure there's any purpose to adding my own advice.  What a shame.

My 'newness' to poetry is laid bare, I think of a subject and write it down and don't really think about the poetry writing process as such, I know it flawed and not exact but it's what I feel at the time and seems appropriate, if there are rules then I need to learn them because I love other work on here and also other poets too, Frost, Heaney, Shakespeare, etc so the shame is I know so little and would like to learn, I appreciate fully the time spent on replying to my post and I'm grateful, this is only my first post, I have loads more poems to contribute to the forum, 60 as of today, and more coming too, I love the poetry process and have a real feel for it, if it turns out I'm not a great poet the so be it, it's still gives me something I didn't have last December 2014, thanks for the feedBack and I really do mean it when I say I'm grateful.
