On gray days I am depressed
like a misguided ghost
traveling endlessly to find my
family
on a wet winter day

I can definately picture this ... I'm a very visual person when it comes to reading and writing ... i see a faint outline of an old hobo like man (dont worry thats not you, it's just what i see when i think ghost and winter) trudging threw snow unable to see a few feet infront of him as a cold snowfilled blast of wind hit him.

My only criticism for this poem is that the last line 'on a wet winter day' seems out of place. The simile with the ghost is quite sufficient to convey your emotions on a grey day.

I actually like the shorter pieces. I think they're different and you're capable of creating strong images with so few lines which is a great skill and I'm not sure that would translate as well with a longer poem. I really liked this one too :D

the thoughts behind your poems are very deep.. But maybe you should write bigger verses ..? Or maybe Culminate them or something.. I love what you're writing.. Just wish you could write more.. Hope that helps :)
