Quiet on a River Front.

Quiet on a River Front.

Anguish screaming " let me out",
holding semi-trucks of doubt.
Let me free, then let me be.
With words of wisdom lost at sea.

Cherished hearts no longer live,
forgotten hearts no longer give.
Shiners and lips oversized,
make it hard to realize -

Nothing to explain in harsh reality,
it's like your forte, " set me free",
but words can't dull this kind of pain,
they only drive you more insane.

Quiet on a River Front,
seems so lost and all too blunt.
Raised to believe one certain way,
means " set me free" is all you'll say.

    It was okay, borderlining decent, not something to go celebrate about but nothing so terrible it shouldn't be read.

    It has potential, here let me explain the good parts about it first: The title, I for one can not choose a title for a poem at all, none, forget it, so when somebody has a beautiful title I am usually in amazement like really loving the title. I like how you tried what probably is your best in this poem, and it does show, you seem to have a message here and want to carry through with it until your poem is finished instead of switching thoughts around, you keeo the reader's attention, also not too long that it drags on but not too short that it seems to have been left off at a hurry with no real conclusion in it's name.

    I think it reads a bit akward though like one line is missing a beat and the next line picks it up by adding an extra one to it. Always try and read the poem outloud when you are finished and tweak it up when you notice something just might be off.

    The rhymes were okay, some seemed oto common like they were forced their a bit just to keep it to rhyme: "but words can't dull the pain,/ they only drive you so insane." w hile other times you used a rhyme effectively to state and keep a point going: "Quiet on a River Front,/ seems so lost, all too blunt."
