Would u pls comment on my poem?
Hello Tanin. Do you remember me? I asked you to read my poem recently. I see that you've posted this poem three times . . . Well, I will give you feedback to the best of my ability. I always enjoy reading your poems, and I see you have a very nice skill with writing. My ear tells me that English is not your first language . . . You've used some verbs in a strange way. What do you mean by "And sweet rain being do I scram."? I like your use of "scram" to rhyme with "am." Do you mean that the cloud goes away after it rains? The poem is very nice to read and, as always, sounds very nice. I like the meaning of the poem--the cycle of weather--and find it very clear to comprehend. My only criticism for your concept is that the poem does not quite say what I would like to hear. That could be because we have different taste in poetry. I like modern poets--Ezra Pound, W B Yeats. My suggestion would be to connect the weather to the lives of people, but you may disagree. If you're happy with the message of the poem, my only comment is that sometimes your lines have unusual punctuation and word choice. "Says the little cloud, fleeting / Under the heaven wide." Does this refer to the preceding line? These issues are not very important though. But to me, the poem does not seem finished.
