Familiarity

[billy]

if that were said it's outright wrong or they've meant 'to use similes /metaphors but not cliched ones.

similes /metaphors are two of the most important poetic devices a poet can use. clich on the other hand makes poetry mundane unless it's used with purpose.

to the poem :

another thing that creates mundane poems is wordiness. [not always but often] and there is some words that could be cut form the poem which would better define the subject of the poem. the latter half of the poem doesn't add enough to be there. try and make each word/line count.

I've read in other critiques to not use similes or metaphors, especially cliche ones... So hopefully I did it well enough to not make it come so mundane? What do you think? Also, is it too vague because of all the similes and metaphors or does it fit just right? 

It just fizzled like a carbonated drink, a good opening line though if i think of fizzled i think of fizzled out. a suggestion would be fizzed,
That sat out for too long, stirred or not. stirred or not feels excess and unnecessary as does the next line.
As the changes come with states of matter,
Metamorphosis took a solid into liquid. this creates a good image of sour milk though wonder if liquid into solid would be better at stating the fact
It is a glass of milk in a low operated fridge. 
It spoiled but not yet curdled - Thank God! 
My perspective is now setting in the familiarity,
As I walk and think about this friendly feeling. 
I'm flying solo, exploring my world. 
It can be quite interesting. 
But just like any ride, you sleep. 
Oh wells, no need to cry over spilled milk.  really cliche
Because this is my world,
And I'll choose what to drink,
And most importantly, where to put it.
