These faces I see

Is there still fire in your eyes?

this has some feeling in it. what the feeling is, i dont really know. it almost seems empty with a twinge of dispair. maybe you could make it more powerful by making it longer with more details or short and to the point? i think this is really good, but true it can be made better. anything can be made better afterall. but the way you set your verses is what puzzles me. just looks like you hit enter with any given word, because there isnt a rhythym to keep with and there isnt a rhyme to rhyme it with.

To All Who Read:
I organize my poems the way I do because it reflects my mood. Right now, my life has no rhyme or reason, so i am inclined to write that way, I suppose. Thank you VERY much for the comment. It was useful and made me realize something about my writing.
