Ruby Tears


The more I drink
The more I think
The more my blood begins to sink
Into a state of altered ink
With every beer
I start to fear
My heart will pump ruby tears

    Your poem lacks a good start. You are creative in your expression, but the beginning lacks something to grab the reader's attention. Something like, "Drinking more / Leads to thinking more," would improve your opening lines and grab your reader's attention. It would provide all the movement your poem needs as it is a brevity poem. "Into a state of altered ink," and "My heart will pump ruby tears," are awesome metaphors. Very creative.

    Oh

    Short and sweet! I can see where you used repetition and then transitioned into mostly rhyme. I feel like once you got the hang of alliteration, you would love it.

    nice


  6. Mallorie Brown

    This is raw, hard, serious, and vulnerable. You are a master poet.

    I love how short the poem is and how it gets across an image with a story in the few sentences written. Good work!

    I wish i could write as concisely as you did here!

    I don't understand...=(

    Given how short it is and the repetition of the initial rhyme scheme, I, personally, didn't appreciate the change in rhyme at the end. It does have a clear and direct message and nice metaphors, though. Keep it up!

    Unique, could have used more lines, but not bad


  14. MeganGoble

    Yeah, I like it. Agree with other comments that it lacks a little movement at the beginning.


  15. Florence Ellen

    I would say, that it is overall creative, however, I also agree with the other comments about lacking movement. I want more of this story. Keep it up!
