Very good. If Harry wrote poetry, it would be exactly like this! I hope that's what you were trying for. Be warned: I'm going to get nitpicky - don't take it personally!

The bastard

This line bothers me. I understand that it is meant to be forceful, and strong, and angry, but I don't think Harry would say that. Maybe "bloody git", or "bloody prat". However, I'm not British at all, so maybe what you put would be perfect. Just saying.

He thought that it would
Keep Voldemort out of my head

The break between "would" and "keep" seemed very direct and...not right. (Ack! Sorry! I can't think of the right word! That wasn't it, though...) I would break it between "keep" and "Voldemort", or between "Voldemort" and "out". But that, again, 'tis just me.

Also (I'm almost done...): I found the lack of commas, periods, semicolons, etc. at the end of each line rther distracting. If I were you, I'd just go back and add the correct punctuation. Again, it's your choice though.

*phew!* Okay, I'm done critiquing. Hope it helped.

Other than that, though, this poem evoked the correct images, and the way you worded it was wonderful. I wouldn't change a single word. Just the grammar thingies I pointed out.

Please, I hope I wasn't mean or anything...I did like the poem!

Author's Response: Oh thank you for the constructive critisism. You weren't being mean; I hadn't used a Beta here, so it's not my best work.

Oooh! Very good! Somewhat dark, but....there really isn't a word to discribe it!
