Poetry / "Winter Day", "Fall" - Review My Poems. [8]

oh thats a really good idea! Thanks. I am still working on my Summer poem, but i'll post it when i am finished.
Can you give me an example of a poem that doesn't use imagism, but describes a scene in another way?
The last stanza in Fall was mostly out of habit becuase i am used to explaining things or concluding them.

Poetry / "Winter Day", "Fall" - Review My Poems. [8]

Just to clarify, i do have a summer assignment that i am working on. It is of the same type as these are and that's why i posted them in particular. I have to describe a summer scene. I want to get advice on describing scenes, and critiques on my past works so that I can improve my style of writing.

Writing Feedback / True Friendship Essay (living without friends) [12]

I think that in some ways you are limiting the types of friendships there are, but I do like that you have a few sincere statements that most people will be able to understand.

You have a good angle, but you need to elaborate more to make this an essay.

Writing Feedback / Work alone or in groups [10]

I think this is well written. I am definitely biased in this situation because I much prefer to work alone in any kind of project, but you made good points.

Poetry / "Winter Day", "Fall" - Review My Poems. [8]

I'm pretty young, barely a teen, and my work is very amateur, but I really would like some criticism. My English teacher is useless in that department as he knows little on the subject. I want to improve my writing, but without a second opinion, that has become quite difficult.

I wrote this poem one day last winter and i got negative feedback at a poem website. No one would tell me what i did wrong, but simply that it was poorly written.

A Winter Day
The cold air teasing my neck,
Making me wish I had brought a scarf
The subtle crunch of my shoes into the snow
I stop and look over to the hill,
It hides shyly beneath its white sheet
Silence ensues, complete peace and utter blank
White light reflecting off the blanketed ground
Trees bare their pure jackets with glowing pride
And slowly from the rays of the sun
A single cold drop falls on my shoulder

and I wrote this one afternoon in Fall-

Fall
The wind blows against the trees,
Tempting the leaves into a pleasant dance,
The air chilly, with the scent of spices,
Wafting from kitchen windows.

With every step, crackle goes another leaf,
Their array of colors brilliant,
Their swift movements graceful and entrancing.
Every sense clouding with autumn's unyielding possession.

We savor this time,
Because o' too soon,
Its transient favor will blow away,
Leaving the trees bare and the mood cold.
