Hi pawslvr   (does paws work as a contraction of that user name for you?)
Welcome to the site and also welcome to poetry writing.
Lots of people to play poetry with, all at different levels, so just get stuck in and enjoy.
If you are new to poetry, my top tips would be to check out the poetry practice sections and
my second tip is to throw yourself into reading and critting as many poems as you can as a great way to learn.

Have fun
AJ.

Hello everyone,

I am new to this forum and poetry. I welcome your critique, as I would like to improve my writing and I am horrible at punctuation.

Gypsy leaving is a must
as her blood has wanderlust
Though its never been discussed
it's men she'll never trust  -- It is men she'll never trust seems somewhat like inverted or Yoda speak, as some call it. I would say, She'll never trust men.                          

Ok, there are some grammatical problems here. First off, no punctuation can be very confusing. Second, Though it's clever to change the rhyme scheme at the end, these rhymes also seem very forced. The diction is plain except for the word "wanderlust."  I'm not trying to be some crazy guy because I don't think poetry makes us vicars of any sort of God. However, I do think there are some errors here.  Thumbsup

Thank you for your review Brownlie. I actually have a problem with that whole last stanza, but haven't bothered to change/correct it. I was tired and I think it was forced just so I could be finished with it. I didn't say that out loud did I? LOL
