some constructive criticism?

[brookschris4]

okay, so i was led to this site by a friend, and she conviced me to try it out. i was skeptical, but if anyone has some constructive criticism for me then i would be happy to hear it.

Somewhere far away,
Something to be done
Something waiting,
waiting,
existing to be experienced
by those who happen to be
destined for this foreign opportunity.
Somewhere far away,
Something overlooked,
Something neglected,
Something hoping,
Something begging,
praying.

Someone,
Someone very close,
very familiar,
Someone inexperienced,
Someone ready,
full of hope,
sits,
waiting,
a to-do list in hand...

Poetry is a hard place to criticize, as even spelling and grammar can be thrown to the window in the interest of "artistic license". I like the poem and how easy it is to relate to, especially in the end of a lengthy winter break. Repetition seems to be something common in poetry, and while it works, try and break out of that shell if you can and become yourself. Free form poetry is just that; nothing restraining you. Utilize that.
