Your poetry is horrible. The rhythm goes to shit in the second line, and I wasn't masochistic enough to read further. Also, the difference in syllables between the lines is distracting. If you can't read it in your head without trying really hard or listening to a metal song, it's generally a sign you should give it up.

It is extremely arrogant and disrespectful of you to expect anyone here to seriously critique your poetry when you yourself haven't bothered to take even the immeasurably small amount of time it takes to capitalize "I."

I'd love to read your work, but I'm not going to put more energy into the poem than the author himself did.

At first I thought you were angry at me, and I was confused.

I'll go ahead and be a little more positive than other people, by which I mean I'm not gonna say anything directly about the poem. If you are interested in improving your writing of poetry, reading up on Meter is probably the best place to start.

Well, I think it is sweet, if this is the poem you referred to earlier. I doubt the person you gave it to will cast a critical eye on it.

Although, the juxtaposition of "ever growing hole" and "enflaming" in the second stanza did make me flash back to the gaint Thai dinner I had yesterday and the unfortunate repercussions today.

i think that's rude to present someone else's work, perhaps without permission and certainly without explanation.
