Alright, so I had a dream a few nights ago; and what is happening in the poem is one of the few events that I remember. I'm not that great at poems, but this is one of the few places where I go to present my poetry to the world. Please, it's a rather short one, so it will not take long - just be blunt and all that honest crud - I trust your criticisms.



Your bare face
prying my tongue from the gums
(once taxed for restraint)
eroding the interjectors
rapid anticipation
- I was only missing my nose
when you left

Thanks, your review means a lot to me; it will definitely ascribe for my advancement for poetry. Do you not like it? Or does it just sound too abstract Oblivion? How do you think I should edit it make it better?

I think dreams are too weird for anyone else to really understand, good job putting into words though. Im thinking dentist?, something along those lines.

well, this is a poem, not a riddle. It's fine it no one "gets it". That means that I'll have to re-do this one some time. Which was what I was doing anyway.

Mm, I like the language and the subtle images and I think it's quite nice, but no one is going to "get it" per se, and if you ask me, that's not really a bad thing.

Great Job, I don't compliment that often.

Well, welcome to TeenLit. However, as something that tries to emanulate a poem; it fails. I'd have to consult an expert surrealist or psychologist to get the dream right.

Good point... dreams are hard to get just right.. but also... i think only the person who has the dream can really find the meaning.
