    The Pros
    I really enjoyed this poem because i understand it first hand. You did a wonderful job portraying the internal battle of an artist with his creation, with his act of creating. I know i've felt this way before so many times...
    The language is really strong, and some lines are really striking emphasizing the struggle that is creation. I found this line to be really great , "Tugging and whispering inside our heads,a gentle siren’s call not easily tempted" Instantly i had an image of this whispering, this tugging that takes place in the mind
    The Cons
    the ending was a little bit odd, the last few lines just seemed kinda awkwardly written, not really fitting with the flow of the rest of the poem that well, but it's not too distracting.
    Final Thoughts
    To me, this was like a burst of wind of truth. I was instantly taken. It's a strong piece, nice flow.

    The Pros
    i liked the way this poem will have different meanings to different types of artists, because all art is different and stuff, what is art? that sort of thing. but what it meant to me was the way that sometimes i feel completly uninspired,and find it frustrating to not be able to 'make some art' very cool
    The Cons
    still a pro pretty much, but its the kind of poem with so many ways to be interpreted, and will have no fixed meaning. like i said, not really a con...

    The Pros
    I think most people on this site can relate with poem. Every artist feels exactly like this at one time or another. But the urge never leaves you alone
    The Cons
    For why doth art forsake me! didn't fit too well with the rest of the poem because of the archaic wording. but only a tiny bit you could really leave it in
    Final Thoughts
    I very much enjoyed reading it. Thank you

    The Pros
    I'm not sure what it was but I liked something about this piece... I reread it a few times now and I really can't pinpoint why but it says something to me!! (could I be more vague in my feedback?? Sorry)
    The Cons
    The rythm seemed off in places and I'm of the opinion that in this kind of free verse the pace and flow is very important so i think this may have detracted a little.
    Final Thoughts
    I enjoyed this, i liked the thought behind it and know I'll come back and read again.

As I drove home through the pounding rain, my eyes straining to see the lanes on the parkway, I began to formulate my next poem. I find the thought process involved relaxing, and it makes the one and a half hour journey easier.

Once I arrive home, half exhausted by the drive and the day’s work I am greeted at the door by my dogs. This is one of the great pleasures of my life. The...
