This thread is for English poems whether they be free verse, sonnets, or other metered poems. While wondering how to state the purpose of this thread, I was struck by all that this thread isn’t meant to be. So let me state what it isn’t and leave it up to participation to continue to define what it is.
What this workshop isn’t:
-This is not a place for poets to dump their entire collection in hopes of quick reactions and applause. Also, don’t put links to your poems that exist somewhere else, there are plenty of other venues to do that on the web.
-Workshop your own poems and take time to review other’s poems. Without that give and take you might as well not participate here.
-This is not a place for adolescent honesty, wherein harsh things are aired bluntly under the guise of honesty. This place has no other purpose than to offer support to fellow writers. Any person going against that spirit will be severely shamed.
-Only English poems and discussions regarding posted poems are allowed here. For all other concerns please look elsewhere.
-By starting the thread I aim to direct and maintain the flow of this thread that’s all. No one’s an authority here, consider this a roundtable class without a teacher where your poem gets read and reviewed by the class. I will offer my suggestions as will others who contribute here. No one is an authority on poetry and no one certain way of looking at a poem exists.
Note: Writers own the exclusive copyright to all the works they publish here.

death in a cradle
I walk on the tempest I cry in the storm
I die even before I was born
Conceived in love murdered in hate
What I feel I will never communicate
Death from a needle who cares how I feel
Murdered by people with nerves of steel
Innocence is dying just look at my fate
Wealth and quality to my life they equate
I am a child - a person - a feeling human too
I want to laugh-breathe-love and live just like you
I kick in the morning I move late at night
I feel I deserve it. It is my right
Why kill me I ask you what is it I’ve done
In my innocence I haven’t hurt anyone
My hands are not bloody my conscience is clean
My soul has developed I too have a dream
Conceived in your body cradled in your womb
Why do you turn this into a living tomb?
The walls my protector a warm close friend
Now you my creator are plotting my end
Madness I tell a philosophy all wrong
A logic of insanity my personal death song
The heavens are crying the deep seas do weep
Helpless within you I dream I sleep
Your hands drip blood and your red lips lie
Speaking of money as I wriggle I die
My cradle you’ve turned into a deadly tomb
Remember my murder within your warm womb
Angels are weeping and devils just grin
You’ve just committed a major deadly sin
Let me be I implore you let me come into my own
The joy I will bring you do not disown
Look into my brown eyes as they fuzz over with sleep
Fill you with a joy that is warm and deep
Come sweet mother be my close friend
Don’t be the one that brings about my swift end
Rock me cuddle me assure at night
That come the bright morning all will be all right
I’m deep in your body I’m close to your heart
How can you kill me and set us apart
I know that you love me you just don’t know it yet
My sweet face in your world you’ll never forget

Hi Rasool,
Your poem is a subtle shocker.. what a real poetry does to the heart - it has done. Rasool, should it this be such a verbose? The feeling is right, outpouring is almost perfect...poignant.. why waste so many words? I feel it dilutes the core expression. Think about this.
Regards
K.Sudhakar

Oh.That special lady of Meerut
GODDESS OF COLOURS
Everyday I see her in different colors.
New colors in her dress and look
New colors in her Silvery grains from the stars
Always smiling, tempting and loving
Everyday I go there to pick
To see her, her colors, her looks
She change her hair color with her dresses
Always refreshing, promising and loving
Everyday I try to see her outward beauty
She is beautiful, very beautiful goes infinity
Beauty starts ends and grows with her
Always sparkling, waving and loving,
Everyday she used to come to pick
Her arrival give high beats in my heart
I know she is fragile too soft to handle
Always caring, marveling and loving
Everyday I refresh myself seeing her
Whether to ask or not? Always cowardly retreated
I find Her eyes as bright as blue deep lake.
Always cheering, charming and loving
Every day she smiled not meant for me
But that smile, oh the moment, not to forget
I could die if it could be for me.
Always enterprising, spiraling and loving
Everyday my blood-circulation dies eternal-slow
While my soul-paralyzed search for MORE
She is Impossible could evaporate me with her single touch.
Always talking on mobile , walking and loving
Everyday she ignores my cries of Pleasure
My heart, my soul, my eternal devotion to her
I want to thank her for every minute and every second she spent around me
Always splashing, burning, wanting and loving.

OH ! HER EYES
Oh her eyes...
Those beautiful, sparkling eyes,
The source of all her passions,
The teller of no lies .oh so………..Deep and Brown.
Oh her lips...
Those soft and tender,
Where upon the glass of life,
She savors and she sips .oh so… Lovely and warm.
Oh her silky hair...
Her sunlit brown and black hair,
That drapes upon her stiff shoulders,
Showing perfection, oh so… …rare and hairy.
Oh her face...
Her stunning, beguiling face,
Where heaven can be sought,
And the creator God himself can be embraced.oh so… cute and unforgettable.
Oh her walk...
Her delicate and slender,
In dreams, beside me
So tender and so warm .oh so………confident and smooth. .
Oh her soul...
Her gentle caring soul,
That longs for love in life,
Yet, life just can’t console.oh so…pure and ruefully.
Oh God, Oh her beauty….
With her perfections much, a rose with such beautiful petals
Yet, when I think of love,
It’s her I die to touch. Oh so……far and untouchable.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Why Does She fell in Love Again?
Why does she fall in love again?
When her present love still beats her heart
I plead to find her a new love that would last
One that would pass the test of time
Why does she fall in love again?
Because her deep soul bear a hole
It's hard for her to see the signs
That’s why she feels love is blind
Why does she fall in love again?
When her love signs are still crystal clear
A love full life is to live and let live
But the vacuum in her must surely be filled
Why does she fall in love again?
When she never vow to love again
Addicted to love she seems to be
A lonely soul can no women keep
Why does she fall in love again?
Because her lofty dreams are unfulfilled
In spite of pains it may brings
She should surely destine to love.
Why does she fall in love again?
Because each morning as I awaken,
She is the reason I smile,
She is the reason I love.
Why does she fall in love again?
Because each day when I see her
She is the reason of my high beats
She is the reason I want to love again.

If I Told You...
If I told you I loved you,
would you push me away?
Or would you let me fall into your arms,
where, forever, I would stay?
If I told you I needed you,
would you feel the same?
Could you let me need you everyday,
forever and eternally?
If I told you I love you,
would you believe the words I say?
Would you turn your back on me
and leave me alone to pray?
If I told you I was crying,
would you be right by my side,
to put your arms around my shoulders
until the feelings pass me by?
If I told you everything,
could you still feel the same?
The day you will know exactly who I am,
would you still be mine to claim?
If I told you...
