My Poems: Critique

Poems never interested me much, but today I decided to sit down and write one. Here it is:

Purple Purpose (http://www.sffworld.com/community/poem/589.html)

Any comments are welcome :)

Pretty cool.. some nice rhymes there. I fooled around with some poetry in my later teen years, and early twenties, but I've given up recently. I prefer writing stories, since poetry is just so... well, vague! :)

But that wasn't bad at all, especially for a first poem.

Interesting, a solid poem. Who is this God's Blood Brother, an angel or god or something?

I also have a poem on the site if you (or anyone else) wouldn't mind taking a look.

I Promis You Treats (http://www.sffworld.com/community/poem/534.html)

Would it be better as a short story?

BTW: i liked Purple Purpose too.

Just to say - I've now finished
God's Blood Brother (http://www.sffworld.com/community/poem/600.html) . It has four verses :)
