My first question is whether you based this upon your own experience, or what various media tell you is happening to teenage culture? Because I'm sure they are two very ...

Surprisingly, I really like the title. And I like the rhyme of the first two lines, though not so much most of the other rhymes. Eh, upon a second look, ...

I think that this poem could be much improved by the elimination of the rhyme scheme. When I read it, what jumps out at me is the fact that it ...

I had a big problem with the "I'm like the caged bird that sings" line. Because it's so close to Maya Angelou's title I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings ...

The pain, my flesh, ripped open. The salt, the wound, it stings. The blood, the sweat, the tears I shed. The pain, the love, the fear I felt. ^ This ...

You should, alleycat! The series is most excellent ^_^ And on that note... who's read Extras? :D I liked it very much. Especially the face ranks and the concept of ...

Intriguing, intriguing title; I like very much. ^_^ I think that one of the best aspects of this poem is that you began with one idea, but you carried it ...

Please don't preface things, especially if it's irrelevant. Now onto the poem. A few things: skip the rhyming. It's unnecessary and a tad annoying. The whole thing could probably be ...

This all seemed rather blatant to me, right from the first stanza: Are you alone in this world? No you are never alone. There is always one who loves you. ...

I like the second part more than I like the first part. The first seems rather drawn out and almost overexpanded while the second part is new and mysterious that ...
