[CC] Please constructively criticize this first real attempt at non-rhyming poetry.
Honestly, this reads like prose with poem-like line breaks. I like the idea, and making it a narrative is okay, but poetry has a sort of flow to it that this is lacking. Try reading some free verse poetry- some of Mary Oliver's stuff is great- to see what I mean because I'm having trouble explaining what it is you are ...

I felt like this was holding back a bit. You set up an interesting premise, but the green thing is introduced but not really explored so it reads a bit as a thinly disguised racial commentary.

To echo what /u/Nicholejoy said, you're missing some key features that make a poem a poem. I can't get a sense of any craft when I read this: no rhythm, no structure or frame, just a spare short story about someone with green skin. And it's not like there's anything wrong with that, necessarily, but poetry, by its va...

[CC] Please constructively criticize this first real attempt at non-rhyming poetry.
This seems more of prose in poem's clothing. Each stanza doesn't really read like poetry should, just sentences with (sometimes awkward) line breaks. One thing that separates prose from poetry is the ability to place line breaks and pauses to be used for emphasis etc. You could try and utilize structure to further ma...

The first sentence really confused me, I had to reread it a couple of times to understand. Perhaps you could put it in second-person format, just like the rest of the text?

[WP] A man is found dead of dehydration in an empty room with a 5 year AA badge and an unopened bottle of vodka
The tracker gets in after the police. The tracker reads the signs. The tracker sees the lies. The tracker knows what nobody knows: vampires feed on moisture.

[WP] A man is found dead of dehydration in an empty room with a 5 year AA badge and an unopened bottle of vodka
[NSFW, language] "Shit, not another one," I exclaimed once I broke down the door to the room. "It's the fourth one this month," my partner reminded me. "Thanks, Captain Obvious. Like this isn't the only case everyone is talking about. Just call the chief, he's going to want to get here before the media vultures,"...

[WP] A man is found dead of dehydration in an empty room with a 5 year AA badge and an unopened bottle of vodka
They warned him not to go out there alone. To wait until the weather clears up at least, find a friend to go with. The outdoors-man in him didn't see these as problems, just more adversity to overcome. More layers to peel back before he could say "I did that. I backpacked through Labrador on my own." It wasn't long, ju...

[WP] A man is found dead of dehydration in an empty room with a 5 year AA badge and an unopened bottle of vodka
This is what it has come to. Rewarded for 5 years sober by an alternative ending to my shitty life. No, I am not gonna pick up that bottle because I have read that ending countless dark nights. Numbing my senses so I can wash away the stain of a regrettable life. Well I deserve this pain that I am going to endure. ...

[WP] A man is found dead of dehydration in an empty room with a 5 year AA badge and an unopened bottle of vodka
r/outoftheloop: Could someone explain what the big deal about the Neckbeard Plague is all about? I keep seeing articles with titles like “A man is found dead of dehydration in an empty room with a 5 year AA badge and an unopened bottle of vodka” that don’t seem to mention who this dead guy is. Really, it was amazing ...

[WP]: humanity suddenly realised they can change colour by mood and will. The fashion industry reacts accordingly
"Black." "Black?" "Yes, you imbecile, black is the answer to all of the change. It goes with ANYTHING. Not like that peasant white that is so dependent on other colors. Last time black was big, was during that post first decade Paris scene. Now we will pioneer this new coming of black. The world will fall under my ...

[OT] What are the kinds of prompts you would like to see more of around here?
Personally I like lots of different kinds of prompts, so long as they are well thought out and either give room for creative expansion or set guidelines that are interesting. There are a lot that are either too restrictive and bland, or too vague and uninteresting.

[OT] What are the kinds of prompts you would like to see more of around here?
From my short time in this subreddit it seems like there are an awful lot of time-travelling prompts compared to just about everything else. I'd like to see more CW prompts that give a specific restraint. Not so much a word limit, but some particular element that you are not allowed to use that you otherwise would obv...

[OT] What are the kinds of prompts you would like to see more of around here?
CW is good and fun. Otherwise, prompts that are detailed yet allow the writer to spin it slightly are good, for example the 'Number Decides Everything, you are #22' prompt sets out specific rules yet is still able to be spun in different ways. Ideally, there should be less death. Yes dead people are a cheap way to...

[OT] What are the kinds of prompts you would like to see more of around here?
Comedy and poetry. I feel like a lot of prompts are fantasy related, or very serious quotes. I'd really love to see more prompts that are just ridiculous, things to have fun with (you know, like "A sandwich's thoughts as it has a mid-life crisis" or "A neckbearded gentleman goes on a date" - something silly). There's ...

[OT] What are the kinds of prompts you would like to see more of around here?
**More of**: Normal, "vague" prompts that allow you a lot of room to think of a story. For example, there are far more directions you can go from "A walk in the park brings back painful memories" than "A man walking through the park recalls how his girlfriend broke his heart under the big tree that stands in the center...

Things I'd like to see more often... -Humor related prompts -More historical prompts with a better variety. You don't see that many and most are WWII related. -Prompts that are designed to help improve upon specific aspects of writing, such as: dialogue, action scenes, etc. A lot of people have trouble with these....

I'd like to see fewer "X is/does/experiences Y, then Z happens. Write his/her/xer response" prompts. It's really limiting and kind of boring! I miss a lot of the really really vague prompts; I also really miss the music prompts. :(

[OT] What are the kinds of prompts you would like to see more of around here?
I generally like whatever gets posted up, though some are extremely specific (two characters of two different series interacting with each other), or some that are incredibly repetitive (mainly the villain ones). I like dialogue only ones, or ones that give the writer an interesting one line to use in the story. I als...

I like the secret message prompts, perhaps this can be a recurring theme? Edit: CW

Less scifi/fantasy prompts. I swear half of them read like Supernatural fanfic prompts: "write a scene where the devil just wants to have a beer in Detroit." Maybe more different culture/history prompts that directly pushes for some research and not just "write like you're a Templar knight and the devil shows up in Ma...

A few thoughts: It may sound too simple a solution, but why not be the change you wish to see in the subreddit. I only recently started contributing, and already I've submitted a couple of word prompts and an image prompt. --- Personally I like Sci Fi, it looks like a lot of people here are going through some kin...

**More variety.** I agree that we have too much sci-fi and fantasy, but my main problem is that there's not enough of anything else.

I like prompts with a word limit! It helps keep me focused and I get roughly some idea of the investment I need to make before I begin.
