Inferno
April 16, 2013
Run away
From the flame;
This fire
Is not tame.
Take a breath,
Beating heart,
Run before you're torn apart.

You know how I said that I couldn't feel the poem? Well not in this case. There is a deep meaning that is actually can internalize and interpret. Fire can be someone's fear or could be used to describe love itslef. The versatile meanings this poem can take on makes it wonderful poem. Well done.

Hey there! I love the title! The simplicity of this poem is perfect. You were able to say everything you needed to say in seven short lines which can be difficult. The rhymes are spot on, everything flowed really well. You did a WONDERFUL job with this poem.

I love the rhythm of this piece! Great job! My only suggestion is to put "is not tame" on the same line as "this fire." It would flow a little better to the ear if you did that (as it would have a similar number of syllables as "run before you're torn apart"). You don't have to take my suggestion, though, since this is a beautiful poem! Have a great day! :D

Oh my gosh!! How can such a short poem be written so it portrays so much more? You did an excellent job at this; the fire can be interpreted into many different things. Love it!

This is really well-written. The simplicity is great and yet does a fabulous job of getting the message across. A critique would be to maybe have a more descriptive second internal rhyme but the rest was amazing X.
