Lamp

Hello,
Happy to be your reviewer for today. Man this is a really cool idea. I have seen it multiple times and wish I could do poetry like this. I think you did an amazing job fitting the words in this way it adds to the context. I enjoyed this poem alot aside of the formation in which it was presented.

Good job and keep up the good job!

wow thats cool you did a great stuff there, though i dont know if your formatting is accapted in poetry, I liked it. but i would like to add that what you just wrote is a stepping stone to a great poem if only you will be willing to spend time on creating different short ideas-just like the one above-to make you want to turn the lamp on if you can come up with two or three in additon to what you have it will be great. so keep thinking the ideas will come am looking forward to the additions

This is a good poem, I like how original the formatting is. The only thing that stuck out to me was the part when it says 'flip the switch', I thought that you could have put a word hanging from the lamp shade to resemble the dangling switch that's on lamps.

Wow this is really cool! I would have never thought to arrange a poem like that! And on top of that, the poem itself isn't bad. It reminds me of when I was really little and terrified of the dark and the winds of winter.

Keep up the good writing!

This is a completly origonal idea and I love it! It's really clever the way that the stanza has been set out, furthermore, it doesn't interfere with the narritive of the piece. Good job!

Haha, that is so cool!!! How did you get it to do that? Whenever I put spacing and such it takes it away...oh well, in any case this was awesome. The poem was good and the formatting made it even better. I liked the whole idea behind it, and it was really well-done.

I really really like this! A LOT! (Also clicked the like button by the way).
Not only were you creative about the wording of the poem, but you arranged the words to actually look like a lamp!
I really have no idea how to review this, since I enjoyed it so much. I read it a second time to soak it through but I still can't kind anything wrong with it!
Good job and keep writing,
Jane

Hi there Fairy! I'm here to review.

First off, I like your idea. It's very entertaining and somewhat different from the norm. However, I think the way you formatted this prevents it from being truly good. For example:

dead of night. Even

Never use a full stop (period) in a line of poetry and continue on the same line. Always start a new one, because it's the beginning of a new idea, no matter how small the individual idea may be.

bed
room
all
you
have
to

"Bed room" is one word. Bedroom.

Wait a second. I just noticed something! You formatted this so that all the words made the shape of a lamp! Haha, that is flipping awesome! I never even noticed until just now. I was wondering why you randomly used only one word per line for a while, but now I get it! Just forget what I said about the full-stop thing, because this is an exception to that rule.

Great work. *likes*

Hi Fairy,

I loved this! I disagree that a period in the middle of a line is a problem. It is part of the poem and adds to its uniqueness. I love how you placed the words to make the stem of the lamp. In my head I read each of those words separately. It was like being on tiptoe, and then you relax at the end when you turn on the light! Great job!

Idea: Make an enitre room of this, color coated so it's easier to tell one poem from the next. Like a desk for the lamp to sit on and things. =p

Hello there!

Wonderful poem. It was short but really good. I like it how your formatting makes a "lamp" figure. I could get the message through the poem. One thing, think of words that would really give a fresh idea into it like 'bedroom', we know there's no spaces between this word, so try not to force them by separating it, just because to make a lamp stem or something.

Keep up the good work!

Peace out!

Hey Fairy!

This was lovely! I loved, loved, loved the shape that you did! It kind of reminded me of this one Christmas tree poem... and this wheelbarrow poem... and several other really excellent poems! So yay for you!

One thing which I might play with is -- STILL PERSERVING THE SHAPE -- see if you can fill it with cooler information. So instead of saying, "begins to creep" you can say "creeps" and fill it with a more amazing detail... if that makes sense.

Still! Lovely poem.

That's a really good poem, with the shape. Good job.

This is amazing! Great structure (hint hint) and nice rythem.
The one thing I didnt like was about the wind. I would have said something like the trees scraping my window. now THAT'S scary!!!
I'm getting frightened already!! *shivers run down spine*.
CHOW FOR NOW,
