Modern Poetry
        by spidey  (spidergirl@Writing.Com)


Some poetry just doesn't seem to fit in with the rest, whether it's subject matter, form, imagery, tone, etc. It can be difficult finding readers for these oddballs. Post them below, and I'll do my best to read and send my thoughts on them.

No rules. Submit any rating, any size, as many as you'd like!

*Bullet* I try to give honest, helfpul, detailed feedback. For examples of my reviews, see:

*Bullet* I love free verse poetry, though I appreciated rhymed poetry, too. I like poetry that isn't easily understood. Wink


I will do my best to review every item entered here.
