It can be argued the most brilliant minds reside in FYM.
I respect all opinons here from the meat eaters to the tree huggers, ergo I beseech you to grade my work on a scale of 1-10.

Please go here, spare not my feelings and grade my work.
Tell me if my work is deadsexy or D.O.A.
I can take it.

I think it's a good start, but I would continue to rewrite it and get rid of some of the cliched parts. Sorry! I know that's harsh! It's a result of having my father critique my work and telling me to get rid of my purple prose! Hard to take but later you look back and are glad the person said it. I'd give it a 7 :) And I am this harsh on myself too!
 
Isn´t life often a cliché? Just meant as a side question.

No really, I think if you write something and it comes from your heart, it can´t be a cliché. You can´t really define a cliché. Let people critisize you, it might change your view, might even inspire you. But if you want to be a good writer, never change something for the sake of critics.

And that, Ladies and Gentlemen, is the living truth for all real artists - even for composers.

Bastard, that is a slap in the face, the worst example ever of bad poetry, your bad poetry is so damn awful at being bad poetry that is good poetry.

On my bad poetry meter where 10 is the worst poetry and 1 is the best I shall give you 1^-5. Thank you so much for this bad bad poetry.

/This confusing post is actually a compliment.

I like it, a bit cliche, but I give it a 7.5.
And I subtract 2 for blatant self promotion on this forum.
5.5

I jest, Diamond. I did like it! You got penalized for being shamless. ;)

I'll add one point for having the balls to post it in public for mass critique and one point for using creative artistry. I appreciate it as someone who writes songs/lyrics constantly.

So you are refunded by your own Inner El Guapo.
Everyone has their own El Guapo to fight.

You and Bono should colaborate on their next album. Wait, he's too afraid your genius will overshadow his :). Very good poem...honestly.
 
Argh, sorry Diamond, it doesn't really do it for me.

Although I probably couldn't write something half as good myself.

I give it a 6, + 1 for having the cojones to post it for critique, fair play.

7 overall then.
