I think it could have been shorter with just the more essential parts so that the rhyming would seem less forced. But then again I really like the way the rhyming scheme give the piece a sort of hypnotic rhythm, though I'm not usually a fan of continuous rhyming couplets. :)

it's kinda weird and choppy and the lines dont run together....i love constant rhymes but only when it's not forced....

Before I say anything: Capitalize your I's! Please! I was cringing when I read this! :thud:

this girl in my lap - friend or foe?
i've known her for an hour or so,

so i quiver like a pro,
get my bag, undo the bow,
take it meticulous and slow,
blow my nose, remove the dough,
and meet my friend to say hello.


Uhh... I don't get it. And apparently I'm not the only one, so maybe there's something wrong here.

Is this something sexual? haha, I feel so dumb, but I honestly didn't understand. I kinda put pieces together like your title and some lines like:
this girl in my lap - friend or foe?

and

So, I think it's about sex. Is it? My mind's all jumbled... I need to rest my head for a couple seconds.

But, I must say, your rhyming was very impressive. Was it wise and did it fit? No. But, impressive nonetheless.

Personally im not a big fan on rhyming poetry...espesicially every line rhymes.. this one was not bad though.. but every rhyme seemed forced... you have to let it flow.. make sure the poetry comes from your heart, not your brain.. other then that, it was pretty good :smt023
I came into this world wrinkled and ugly. And no matter how much I accumulate here, it's a short journey. I will go out of this world wrinkled and ugly. So I enjoy life.

Hey people, check the post date before reviving threads that are old and decrepit! There's a ton of new stuff sitting around not getting any reviews.
