    I liked it. People need to realize that poems aren't perfect by the time you realize that there's nothing more you can do with it. I actually read he whole ...

    How do you know this is a poem to God and not the author's actual father? I would not go making assumptions without knowing for sure. Your interpretation may be ...

    ..are you sure this is even supposed to be a poem or are you just introducing yourself to the site? The title, subject matter and lack of poetic elements here ...

  • Poetry » Dramatic, General Re: Do you like this poem?

    I don't either, sorry. This is morbid--although there is nothing that says you can't write morbid poetry. But...this is really not appealing, morbid or not. It's just bland, boring, and ...

  • Poetry » Other, General Re: The Night to remember

    I would have to say that this is not poetry. It doesn't have any poetic elements at all. It's a nice thought. That's just swell. But...it's not poetry. This is ...

    This is an accurate description of a hurricane. But, it's braf. You are saying all these things that happen in a hurricane, but you aren't showing us how they happen. ...

    Actually, this is not horrible! I like the style...it's a lot more non-meloncholy than most pieces we tend to find here on the YWS, even though it is talking about ...

    I would say this isn't bad , persay. It just isn't poetry. It's really just a whole bunch of questions thrown in a row. There aren't any poetic elements involved ...

  • Poetry » Other, General Re: Rabbit Hole

    It's not bad. But...of course I have a few things to say. First, the beginning is very stringy. Really...like string cheese, just kind of falling apart. It starts to get ...

    Loved it; especially the allusions. Thank you for not jumping around with your allusions and just sticking with Bible references....people drive me nuts when they flop between four different things ...

  • Poetry » Dramatic, General Re: splenda (revision posted 17th Nov 07)

    It's a nice thought, really, but it needs to be carried out--there is no ending, it just kind of stops. I would reconsider your linebreaks here...they are often awkward. The ...
