I think the majority of the littles on here will relate.

May I ask why you picked emjambment? Is that your usual style?

 

I like the pace it gives the reader.

Yes, it is! It was also for a specific little "unit" we had in a poetry class at my uni and that's the only poem I still have and that is recent.

I'm at uni to doing english lit and creative writting. I often write in a similar style.

 

Just an idea have you considered removing the word 'like' it would give the words after more power/force I personally feel.

Its just my thoughts though. Its your poem

That's awesome, I could never. I'm doing Theatre.

That does make sense to remove it, but I really don't see myself putting this poem anywhere else, so I'll leave it as such. Though I do respect your input.

[Persephone_Persephone]

Thats ok, I like the 'like' for its repetition anyway.

 

It depends what the reader feels when reading it I guess. To me it would cut straight to the feeling you are trying to convey. But to you need the 'like' That's why I love poetry we all see different things from the same words.

 

Theatre? Must be very interesting and a great oulet.
