Answer 1

I really like youre Poem about death coming to your room. Yet, im not that fond of the one about the kid in class. Dont get me wrong, youre a good story teller, and i get this sort of Edgar Allan Poe sort of thing, but yet i find something missing.In my taste of poetry ( and this is only my taste and not everyones) i like it when people write something out of the generic, and you seem to do that. But yet, i really like it when poets describe their emotions to the extent that the reader really gets into it. This is what i found missing in youre poetry, i felt as if i were reading a poem, thats it. The death poem has alot of potential if you can just go back to it. When it comes to poetry, people have many opinions on it, many may like youre poetry while many say it sucks.  Sometimes even i think my poetry dosent meet my expectations. But remember one thing, dont look for recognition in youre poetry. If you want opinions and comments thats good, but if all you want is "hits', than you should rethink what poetry really is.
