on days when the rain pours,
i sit under the awning and twiddle my little thumbs,
staring at the sky with my little eye.

my wishes aren't answered on shooting stars,
but on the roars of thunder and the heat of lightning.

a storm is brewing inside my mind
and my rancid tongue of dirty words
is shooting like an automatic
because of something irrational.

my calloused fingers run over flames
and all my prayers are answered with pain.
i'm trapped in that corner again,
and self reliance is all that remains.

i'm going crazy because everything is crumbling.
even when i stand up, i end up stumbling.
all i know is going tumbling, and even though i know
we can get through it. my mind is racing, and all i can think
is...

Fuck

I know the rhyme scheme sucks. I really have never cared about that. My writing and my personality are disorganized.

This isn't what you think it's about, but it started off as something random and it molded itself into something meaningful.

Things are slightly crazy at the moment and I'm trying to take it all in.

Does the choppiness work for the poem? What would you change? Do the emotions behind the words tell a story? Does the expletive detract from the poem?

I....really, really like this :] It's amazing and beautiful just like you and it's so wonderful and I think that this works being disorganizaed <3 The emotion really shows through

Hey, rhyme is not the most important aspect of poetry (though I could speak on it extensively). It's the extended metaphor: the thing that allows you to take something seemingly mundane and associate it with an idea, like an emotion. It feels a little inconsistent in this case. But it still gets the point across, so it's still pretty good.

And I see that you had a little of a double entendre going on there. "The Fall" takes on two meanings: one at the beginning and one close to the end.

My only concern to point out is in line 3 where it says "little sky". I don't know for sure, but it doesn't seem to fit. See how it sounds without little before sky. "Staring at the sky" is a nice bit of alliteration.

Aside from that it's pretty good. It may need a little tightening up here and there, but that's for you to decide.

Thank you for the critique, it was extremely helpful, and I agree with you on the "little sky" portion, and I will go about changing it.

I know it's inconsistent, but then again, so am I, so it works out.

I'm from #theWrittenRevolution Since I'm not a subscriber, I cannot offer a proper critique, so I have to do it in writing (instead of the cool little thingie!).

I have to start by saying this poem confused me. I didn't understand it at all, now to answer the questions you asked.

Does the choppiness work for the poem?
I don't really think it does, but I think that it's just because I didn't really understand it.

What would you change?
I like it when poems are a little bit more descriptive than this.

Do the emotions behind the words tell a story?
To be honest, I didn't really feel anything from this. Other than feeling like a huge jerk for being so brutally honest D:.

Does the expletive detract from the poem?
No, the last part made me smile. It was very interesting.

All in all, I give it a 2.8/5 stars.

I'm sorry if I sound like a jerk D:. I'm really not. I'm just harsh with writing.

You aren't a jerk, the poem was kind of personal, I didn't mean for it to be confusing though. I appreciate critique though. I'm not going to get mad.

I basically wrote RIGHT after my mom lost her job, and I was frustrated. That's the story. I admit it doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

no worries! i think the off rhyme scheme gives the poem some flare!

sometimes its better to write without much structure, the piece seems more honest that way :)
