I do want to point out to you that if that is your real name then it's inadvisable to post it online like that. Otherwise, I'm afraid there really isnt much going for this poem. It's great for a school assignment or something, only - no offense - I'm not really interested in reading a poem that tells me about you. Shows me, yes, gives me something to interact with and everything...but this is really just..um. Boring. Sorry. You are making no attempt to engage your reader. You need to try to convince me I understand you, can care about your likes and dislikes. Perhaps you could use a few more images and metaphors to explain and deepen this portrait of you? Oh, and *why* are you calling your dad a fool?? See my comments re: your last post. Most of what I said there goes for this one too.
Got a poem or short story you want me to critique?

Yeah. Well, bubbles said almost all of it. This really-no offence-of no intrest to the reader. If this is what you need to write to introduce yourself in YWS, then it's fine but... your poetry has gotta be more, well, entertaining. Anyway, although you kind of lost me at "...people know all my hopes...", but I'm still gonna critique ya.
Even School is good, until you get dets,

No. Sence. At. All. That is kind of a pathetic atempt to ryhme. Also, debts is spelled "debts".

Yeah. This is what you do. Yo do select all, delete, and start typing again. I'm sorry if I seem a little harsh, but this poem just got under my skin. Yo don't need to ryhm to have a poem. The ryhming you did in this poem was kind of insane! When you rhyme, you completely demolish any point you were trying to make. Either don't ryhme, or get a ryhming dictionslarh

This was okay. Kind of a fun read, I guess... as a lighthearted poem,this is fine, but good poetry needs meaning and imagery and metaphors and all that good stuff, which this lacked. I'm not trying to be unneccasarily harsh, just honest.:)

Also, you might want to run spellcheck on this, I noticed several typos/spelling mistakes.

"Iv deleted this text coz like bubble wrapped said...not good to post your name, and also it WAS a school assignment, my stuff isnt that good but i am only just 12!"

*cringes* ok, i might ditch capitals most of the time, but as a general rule i try to keep my posts in english.

just some advice: if you do ever put your real name on something online (which obviously you shouldn't) don't go back and confirm it's your real name. and don't write 'coz'. it reminds me of the hooches and makes me want to throw up.

I've edited lizard's post so your name (and poem!) is hidden. So now everybody should be happy!

And school stuff, as a rule, generally sucks. It's just a fact of life. ;)

Since the poem is deleted then I'm going to lock this. ^_^;;
