Something about a hurting heart,
an angry heart, a sad soul
always brings the words
to the surface
flowing onto the page
with such ease and fluidity that
when things brighten up again,

I am
dry.

Neat. On first read I wasn't convinced; it didn't grab me and felt overly familiar. However, re-reading a few times quickly and letting it just flow, it's grown.

I think I'd be tempted to lose the whole line of "to the surface" leaving "words / flowing" as then the feel matches the description more closely. And probably drop the comma after "again".

But me like; me relate.

Hi Carrie, I like this very much, but I find nothing unique about it.
I think you might want to try expanding on it. I am a junkie for short poetry but I like it to draw me into something exciting. I have added some input, unfortunately it is not exciting either. Enjoyed this though, that is always a good sign.

Hi carrie and welcome to the site.

We ask that you don't post the same poem in different threads. If you have posted a poem and then change your mind about where you want to place it, just pm a mod and it can be moved. As you have recieved replies on this thread and none as yet in the other post i will close the other thread for you.

AJ.

Good story on writer's block, I would suggest changing the title to something along the lines of "obstacle" instead of block, because that can give it away. Of course this is your poem and you can title it however you want, but that is just my two cents. Thanks for the good read Thumbsup
