I dream of becoming evil
Dangerous
A hazard to insects
Small animals
And children
The sawn step on the evolutionary ladder.
Indulging amidst
Huge purple velvety leaves,
Bulging seed pods,
Slender creepers the texture of human lips
Prickly hairs
Beaklike thorns
A fortress of botanical nastiness
I would be a blot upon the landscape
A visual tactile
An indelible vulgarity
I would be complete

I really liked this, you have some fantastic lines in here like: "A visual tactile", I prefer the second half of the poem. To me the first half seems a bit stilted and just doesn't flow as nicely. Overall however I think this is a brilliant piece.

I like it too! THe pace is good, and I just like it how it talks about being evil. Everyone has that dream sometime...

Oh, and I do have a suggestion...you should probably change the title...it seems to me, a little out of place.
when there's nowhere to go, it's time to grow up.

You shout 'cause you're just as far in as you'll ever be out
And these mistakes you've made, you'll just make them again
If you only try turning around."

Well, here comes Mr. Cynical.

This poem was stupid. Fast-paced? Yes. Moving? Yes. Gripping? Yes. Purposeful? Not by any means. It doesn't chill me like the ending tells me it should, which in turn says that you didn't do your job. I think you were attempting to purvey the "evil" side of humanity in this poem, but you just presented your evil side.

And saying evilness makes you complete is absurd. You sound like one of those gothic-wannabe's who writes screeds of poetry that in the end will fall in a garbage can when you turn 16 and realize how silly it was. It's a good start, but then, what could I expect from someone whose nickname is Muse?

I dream of becoming evil
Dangerous
A hazard to insects - ... "to insects"?
Small animals
And children
The sawn step on the evolutionary ladder.
Indulging amidst
Huge purple velvety leaves,
Bulging seed pods,
Slender creepers the texture of human lips
Prickly hairs
Beaklike thorns
A fortress of botanical nastiness
I would be a blot upon the landscape
A visual tactile
An indelible vulgarity - vulgarity isn't edible in the first place...
I would be complete

Fast paced... but I don't believe most of the descriptive words you used, you are aware of the meaning. Inedible vulgarity? And isn't everybody a hazard to insects? But whatever :) I enjoyed it nevertheless, and you're a pretty good poet. KEEP WRITING!!!

Its not inedible lol, its indelible. Meaning "cannot be removed". Thanks for the comment though after all this time. x
"Sometimes we see a cloud that's dragonish,
A vapour sometimes like a bear or lion,
A towered citadel, a pendant rock,
A forked mountain, or blue promontory,
With trees upon't that nod unto the world,And mock our eyes with air.."

You don't really have much puncuationg here...


you may want to work on that.
Personally, I suck at that myself but you may want to contact Jabberhut.

She'll set you right up.
She's great.


I feel like from the beginning I need more description.

Your beginning is weak to me because it's very short and choppy and my mind begins to wonder because your not specific enough in your descriptions.

I dream of becoming evil
Dangerous
A hazard to insects
Small animals (what kind of small animals?)
And children ( there are so many words to describe beautiful childrennn... dont be scared..)



Anways, overall very sweet good piece I really enjoyed it

Just work on the things I told you.
If you need any help please dont hesitate to PM me!



Bye,,


TP!!

    I'd rather write about this world than live in it
    and I'd rather play music all day
    and read and wander around bookstores
    and watch humans
    but not be one of them.

Beautiful and wicked! I was just singing "Wicked" songs a minute ago and this poem reminded me of Elphaba. (But enough about me!) I don't have any nitpicks whatsoever with this poem! It was wonderfully put together! I loved it!



Never forget how special this site is: the older I get, the more I realize how many lonely writers there are who have only family and maybe some friends to read their works. The fact we get free critique, nightly writing pads, free contests and unlimited interaction at *no cost* with people genuinely wanting to help, can not be overstated or overrated
