    Some poems that I have written lately, will try to update relatively often. Criticism is welcomed.

    Darkness.
    The absence of light.
    Shadows.
    Strangling my soul.
    Darkness.

    in my opinion i would use more emotion...make the reader feel the darkness not just know what it is. not bad tho.

    thanks for your opinion. I might expand on it some time, I'm not sure.

    Leaves

    Leaves,
    Falling,
    Weightless,
    Floating through the air.
    Her touch,
    Gentle.
    The air,
    Crisp.
    Cool Autumn breeze,
    Ruffles her hair.
    I love you.

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Sleep

    One, two, three, four,
    I fall asleep.
    Five, six, seven, eight
    By her side.
    Nine, ten, eleven,
    Counting her breaths.
    Twelve.

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------
    The End

    One,
    Distant family.
    Two,
    Fake friends.
    Three,
    Lost love.
    Jump.

    I like The End.

    It seems to flow more naturally

    I really like this. Short, direct, powerful. I'm not too fond of your other stuff. Some of them seem a little too simple and underdeveloped for my taste, but hey, taste differs from person to person. The End however, is short and simple but that seems to give it a little more impact.

    Keep writing,
    A.
