Bad Poetry?

Hi Everyone,

I've posted my second poem now and have had no response save one!

I would really appreciate some feedback because I just write, I follow no rules because I've never studied them. The school I went to unfortunately did not offer English Literature which I'd have loved to study.

So....is it that bad?

Poetry is not my bag particularly, but generally speaking don't let what your school taught restrict your learning! There is more than one way to skin a cat, or learn a skill. It's fine to break the rules, but you should know them first.
