Like the coward I was I stood with the living. Like the coward I was I laid among the Dead. Waiting for my enemies to pass over me. So when darkness came I ran away, not to be counted where I lay.

I like the format, but the concept is also pretty great and thought provoking=)

Check my stuff out? Maybe some tips?

Thanks and Keep Writing!

Boy, when you're dead, they really fix you up. I hope to hell when I do die somebody has sense enough to just dump me in the river or something. Anything except sticking me in a goddam cemetery.  People coming and putting a bunch of flowers on your stomach on Sunday, and all that crap. Who wants flowers when you're dead? Nobody. ~J.D. Salinger,The Catcher in the Rye,

Besides the spacing thing that previous people have talked about, I really liked your poem! It was really interesting. :)

This is really nice work, but if it's poetry, putting everything in one big paragraph is a big no-no. Expiriment with lines, read it out loud to hear a pattern that you like. I really like the feeling of it, though, and the message as well.

Could you read my poem "Deceit" (repetetive, I know, but in case you see this first...) and tell me what you think? Thanks.

This was really haunting, but in a good way! it definitely creates an effect but maybe you could space it out like the person before said and you could even extend it slightly, though the length it is does leave you thinking about it.

last night i lay in bed, looking up at the stars and i thought to myself, where the heck is the ceiling?

this is pretty good...it had a good idea if you know what i mean. i think you should space your lines differently...like:

Like the coward i was,

I stood with the living.

Like the coward i was,

i laid with the dead

...and so on and so forth...

but other than that i love the myterious feeling!! i know my poetry has a lot of that mysteriousness so i say gooo mysteriousness!!!!
