Anyone want to read poems?

You have great talent, but to improve your poetry even more I have a suggestion. I think you should go back to basics, learn more about the construction of poems. For instance, I love the imagery in your first poem, the sonnet, though it is difficult to read as a sonnet. Sonnets are constructed of iambs, two syllables, first unstressed, second stressed. Your poems are wonderful but slightly different to read not because of your talent or style but because of your technical understanding of language. Read a few books on poetry, and you'll be a star. :)
