A crow.
A coal black, innocent crow.
Hated, Hurt, Ignored.
Waiting, for someone, something that could show him love.
Nothing.
All alone, he dove toward a strong unchanging current.
Gone, unnoticed.

© Jacqueline T., Flower Mound, TX

I really liked this. It was short and to the point but it still maintained a sort of 'longing' throughout. Well done; can't wait to see more from you! :)

My advice is the exact opposite. Poetry doesnt have to be aggressive or tense. Ever read Blake? Keats? Go by your own flow.

I thought it was really good. It had ok description (: and a lot of feeling. You just need to improve on length and building of tension. Poems are usually meant to be really aggressive and meaningful. Don't worry TOO much about how flowy it is, it will get the reader unfocused on the mian point. Instead stick to the topic and make it your own. This was really good, but i think you could do better. Thanks for writing it (: 4/5 stars
