Hi! Welcome to YWS! I'm going to try my hand at reviewing this.

I can't really critique syntax or grammar because, well, the poem is essentially onomatopoeia. As interesting as it was, that makes it difficult for constructive criticism. However, I will say the flow of the poem was pretty great, I enjoyed that. I can't tell if there is any deeper meaning, or if this is a nonsense poem. Either way, it's appealing in its...difference.

I'm sorry I can't be of much help, but yeah.

Hi, there! Welcome to the site!

Interesting poem; I agree with Sporks that it's kind of hard to criticize this, exactly. The language has kind of a joyful swoop to it, and the words are definitely original. I like the free, borderless feeling I get from this piece. :D I also enjoyed your explanation of the poem:

Hey there, ilyaeelz, and welcome to the Young Writers Society.

First off, I agree with Spork and Glim; I don't know if I can truly give you a good critique on this, dear. It's something that is very unique, and I don't want to bother with it. It does have a joyful impression, though.

However, I found this piece a bit odd, by usual standards. I just haven't seen anything like it.

Still, keep writing and I'll see you around.

I really hope this is a joke Poem, if not...well.....

Not much I can say. I mean, this is hardly even...anything at all. You can;t review gibberish, because you can't even understand it. I'm not going to say it's interesting, because it isn't. Maybe it is a special kind of poetry...but it is gibberish, and I can;t see any point in it.

Sounds like something my baby cousin would write. So I hope this is a joke/you didn't put forth effort.

On the contrary, Bolt, I think this is a brilliant poem. The "nonsense" of it does have a point, as explained in the final line. It's innovations like this that distinguish writers from the mundane and make us all think outside the box. Welcome to YWS, ilyaeelz, I am looking forward very much to reading your other pieces, especially if they are as interesting and unique as this was.
There is so much said in the silence. But writing, for me, became a way of fighting the repression, of protecting no one, of saying everything. I began to write to save my own life.

This is five kinds of awesome. I loved reading it -- out loud, of course. ;) My only nit-pick is that some of the things would probably not be said, just because they sound awkward. By that, I mean that I wouldn't be able to say it because I suck at pronunciation. (Like, kekekeke? My lazy tongue would die.)

Also, the ending is kind of beautiful.

All and all, it kind of reminds me of a Calvin and Hobbes comic. The whimsy is there. :)

This poem is great! The title drew me in straight away and I wasn't dissapointed. xD I loved this poem, the way it flowed was really good, and writing nonsense poems is so much harder than most people thing. The end was lush as well. ;)

Keep writing,

I don't think there's anything to say about this.... I can see why this got as many reviews as it did. The title was weird.

XD No comment on this, really. I don't know why I liked it, nor why I'm replying to it.

I like this. It's interesting, out of the box, definitely something people won't think of to write for a poem.

A suggestion for future ideas--perhaps using abbreviations as a poem? Ttyl? Afk? Nyob? Another idea you could play around with to confuse and befuddle readers~
