. Let me present you with some advice from another favorite site of mine, Volcano:
We would like you to feel free to post your own poetry or discuss the idea and making of poetry in this forum, but you should be aware that your work is open to critique. Posting your efforts here sets you open to both unrestrained admiration for your literary talents, and creative criticism from those who hold a stricter view of what poetry should be.
We encourage the use of verse as a vessel for bearing your feelings into a new language or expanding your abilities in your own first one (if it be English), but keep in mind that it will be as open to grammatical and structural examination as are essays, letters and other submissions to English forums. Just as essays and business letters require certain elements of appropriateness, so does a good poem have criteria. These vary with the reader, and you may therefore get a range of reactions, all of them intended to be helpful in improving your language skills.
English-test.net is actually a very kindly site for literary criticism, Volcano. If you don't think that you can handle the heat here, then I suggest you compare us with the kind of reception you will get at a REAL POETRY FORUM. . _________________ Native English teacher at Mister Micawber's |

. I am not teasing; I am pointing out what appear to be errors. 'In the hearth' can only mean 'in the fireplace'. . _________________ Native English teacher at Mister Micawber's |
