    I only cry when I am alone…
    Wanting to hug someone known…
    But when that door opens…
    Tears are under control and only a smile is shown….

    Thank you for submitting your poem.  Loneliness, I think, is something we can all relate to, after the experiences of this past year and a half.  May I suggest that your poem would benefit from the use of imagery – for example:  “I cry” like…  or What happens when that “door opens…?”  Does light flood in – does music sound in your head – does darkness disappear like rain clouds when the sun comes out?  Poetry is all about word pictures, as well as telling us something important.  I think your poem has great potential and would be so happy to see it again after you’ve had a chance to work on it.  Don’t worry if you end up adding a line or two – just make us feel, what you feel!  Your friend in poetry, Susan
