    Hey there! I second Kammie here, your language was nice. Your rhyme scheme I also don't have much of a problem with, which is cool because I see a lot ...

    Well, first off you have a few typos in here. You need to capitalise your 'I's and you also need to capitalise the words, at the start of lines, which ...

    I like your use of repetition and subject choice. Those two things were well done, nice job. For me, this didn't flow too well. Your line breaks seem off and ...

  • Poetry » Dramatic, General Re: What is this feeling?

    You have kind of strange line breaks here, which is annoying. I would suggest reading the poem through and picking up on places where you stumble or lose the beat. ...

    Yes! You don't go emo the entire poem! You actually deviate from the overall cliché 'OMG I miss you so much' in this poem, which is a lovely thing to ...

  • Poetry » Dramatic, General Re: A Letter to Bullies

    Some of the rhymes here do seem forced, but in a way that add this comic (and, as Kammie said, childish) edge to your poem which I actually like. I ...

    I actually really like the way that you take the parts of the rose as imagery. It works nicely and it flows well, so that's great! One thing that annoyed ...

  • Poetry » Dramatic, General Re: Lovers/ What am I to you?

    Hi! So, well done on the rhyme scheme. It actually works, which is nice. You don't notice it, in a way, which is wonderful because that shows it isn't forced. ...

  • Poetry » Dramatic, General Re: Blinding Fog

    Well, I'm pretty much repeating other people but the annoying thing about this is the forced rhyme. You really, really want to cut it out. I mean, why do you ...

    I'm with the Bond here. When you don't give us anything about the narrator, the narrator seems pretty creepy. He, at the moment, is not a fleshed out person, the ...

  • Poetry » Dramatic, General Re: Alone - please tell me what you think :)

    I'm with Kyllorac here, I'm afraid. You need to flesh this out rather a lot and make it unique to this person. You've used such generic images without expanding on ...

    Hey there! Ok, so some of the rhyme here felt kind of forced. It's not terrible, but I get the feeling that you could word it so much better if ...

  • Poetry » Dramatic, General Re: Beautiful Things

    Hi there! Ok, so my biggest problem with this poem is that it sounds a little like prose. Part of that it because of the generally non-poetic language used, and ...

    Hey there! Ok, so there were a couple of things which bugged me about the poem. Number one was the 'philosophical' questions you tried to put to us. 'Are performances ...

Don't aim at success--the more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue, and it only does so as the unintended side-effect of one's dedication to a cause greater than oneself or as the by-product of one's surrender to a person other than oneself.
