Critique me

Name: Anonymous 2009-08-08 17:49

hey guys,
i was wondering if anyone would be interested in critiquing a poem i just wrote recently? kind of rough but id really like some opinions. (sorry this is kind of tangent to the purpose of this forum)

I'm more into prose than poetry, but I think I can offer this word of advice: get rid of words that don't hold any weight. Example "I find myself," "just me" "and this" "are starting" "something" etc, all that shit, cut it out. You'd get something like this:

sitting in the desert
a cooler of beer and folding chair
Nothing to do
No one around
Clouds whisper
horses restless

Cut the fat. I'm not saying the above example is publishable, but I think it's better. Also, I'm not sure if you want to introduce a new image in every line, but then again, I'm not well versed in poetry.
