    Its a nice way to express how you want to be loved.
    You should write that on a piece of paper and give it to every man you meet and then tell him to go away if he cant meet the criteria
    Great idea!...but I wonder if that will scare them off...

    showing off their dorsel fins
    calling to the birds above,
    greeting those surfer fans they love
    with our admiration, their hearts do we win,
    they love to hear, "Look mommy, a dolphin!"

    But yes....you could say that Max.

    These days, people often get scared before even being scared Here's what you have to do: wield the list before his very nose. If he's not able to comply with it, then he's not the right darling, and you should do something like should he ever insist

    In my opinion, I would call it a brilliant oceanic pastoral

    There's a loneliness in her eyes,
    She can't seem to erase
    She looking to the skies,
    With no answer

    (it's a work in progress...)

    Clipped Wings

    Spiraling, spiraling down
    screaming and yelling without a sound
    hard to lift up what's pushed down
    not a hint of confidence, not a ounce or pound

    my wings are clipped
    and I'm falling to the lowest pit.
    I see my demise
    filled with hopelessness and cries

    how am I supposed to find a new road,
    when buried benaeth this heavy load
    Clipped wings won't help me fly above
    and see what's needed to be done,

    so I spiral out of control,
    not able to protect my soul.

    my demise is near.

    I like the theme of this poem. The downward spiral, the inability to soar above one's own destiny with death inevitable.

    There is a slight overuse of same words which do not add to its value. Spiral, clipped and demise. Perhaps you could give the reader a deeper imagery rather than in the context in which they are repeated.

    The theme and how you develop it are both sharp and Delta's opinion sounds noteworthy

    So I did some revisions. Does it sound better or worse?

    Clipped Wings

    Spiraling, spiraling down
    screaming and yelling without a sound
    hard to lift up what's pushed down
    not a hint of confidence, not a ounce or pound

    my wings are cut down
    and I'm falling to the lowest pit profound.
    I see my demise
    filled with hopelessness and cries

    how am I supposed to find a new road,
    when buried benaeth this heavy load
    Severed wings won't help me fly above
    and see what's needed to be done,

    so I plummet out of control,
    not able to protect my soul.

    my end is near.

    In my humble opinion, this version sounds more elaborated, hence more poetic. I think so

    I like the way you have used some words repeatedly. They sound good to ear. The title reflects the theme of hopeless surrender quite well. Keep writing.
