I dreamed of him last night.
His face was fair and free
from the agony yet to come.
I first met him at the entrance
of the Catacombs in Rome.

None of your picture poems are haiku. A haiku, like a sonnet, is a strict poetic form. The haiku must contain seventeen syllables--no more or less. The first line must contain exactly five...
It's obvious that you put a lot of effort in this poem, but I have to say that I feel that the rhyme is forced.
Thank you for your comments.
Sitting inside a slightly-used VW van
I saw my first snake of the year
tearing across the mountain road.
Now this was no slick snake in the grass,
this one was for real.
It was a brief...
Regardless of all the creative writing courses offered, I repeat, you cannot teach someone to write poetry.
You cannot teach writing poetry to anyone; the writing of poetry cannot be taught.
Although I took twenty-four hours of philosophy in college, I don't know what Aristotelian Logic is. But thank you for your comments.
Inside crazy caverns of denied reality
the jester makes his home.
Sitting cross-legged on a throne of pure perception,
gazing outward and chuckling at the scene.
Most ignore or attempt to save...
Thank you all for your comments. They have given me much food for thought.
will be a shrunken prune of a human,
a ghostly withered grape just barely hanging on

I write to spite an indifferent universe.
It's time someone told you the truth about your "poem." You've put a bunch of words together--all disconnected. Your "poem" doesn't make sense. It's gobbledy gook.

I think Poe pretty well separated his military career from his poetry. His early poems are classical in form and style;witness To Helen. It was only later that he began to experiment with the effects...
I think Gore Vidal's Lincoln is the best book on Lincoln.
Simply excellent.
Do you realize what you have done? You have wasted half the air force on a half-hearted attempt to bomb the English into submission.
Do you not realize that the British are our equals when...
It did improve the poem by changing the second person to first person
I know that my world
has crumbled around me.
All the armies have been defeated,
all hope has been crushed.
My way of life is coming to an end
and a new world is beginning.
But I also know...
The line of "gone with the wind," is just a tribute, and the poem is mainly about a woman who realizes that her whole world has been swept away, and she has neither the power nor the strength to face...
Thank you for your comments. I will try to write the poem in first person, and see how it goes.
You know that your world
has crumbled around you.
Your armies have been defeated,
a way of life is coming to an end
and a new world is beginning.
But you also know there is no way
that you can...
Don't try to best me with words, Jack of Hearts. I made my living with words. I advise you to get plenty of rest, take aspirin, and drink plenty of fluids. I advise you to cease all exertion for two...
You're a funny guy, Delta, you should be a clown. Stop gnashing your teeth, and admit that you're jealous.
