Focused eyes examine every letter on every word
Searching for secret messages which lie therein
Concentrating so hard that the sentences become blurred
And the mystery is forever lost within

Some secrets are found but some remain well hidden
For what is discovered is to the assessors acclaim
What’s never found was never meant to be, as if it were forbidden
Even if that were not the author’s aim

What good’s a YouTube video if it gets no views?
The public are the true stars which make it rise
And if there’s a new music artist out, who’ll spread the news?
His fans of course, the ones that see through his eyes

If you haven’t guessed by now, this poem’s for you
For taking the time to read
Reviewers deserve credit as much as the poets too
For watering the planted seed

D'aww...

Hi there, Rafe. Nice to meet you. :)

Bahaha... I really like your poem. It flows and it's well written. I really love how you used something as modern as YouTube videos to show us your message. Makes me think... we are the new generation of poets! That's so amazing! xD It made me smile. You did a great job!

Simply amazing! I agree that this poem can be liken to a torch- we are the new generation of poets.
A pretty exemplary poem if you ask me- a good concept, clear enough words, enough to keep you glued until the end and not over done.

Personal preference here? I love that line. At first it seemed completely out of place but then when you look at it you could almost slap yourself for not seeing the link. It brought the idea you wanted to get across into focus, or else the poem would probably have just been filled with ambiguities. As it were, it started out with a somewhat general perspective then zoomed in on yours, holding the reader but still allowing them to view the message in a different scenario.
I'll stop making a literature piece out of your poem :D

All in all a GREAT JOB!! THUMB UPS and keep writing- DFTBA

Wow this poem is amazing, i have come across a lot of poem's but none like the concept of this one.
The concept is what struck me the most, as it is difficult to write about.
You pay homage to the reviewers and what a wonderful way in doing so
The language you use shows me just how talented you are when it comes to words.

I have to disagree with the first reviewer because i think the line you wrote about the Youtube views is really relatable and smart, because people post videos to get views and a response, so saying that this ruined the poem is very stupid.

Anyway all in all this is a wonderful poem, it has really made me step up my idea for the piece i am about to write
So well done and carry on releasing poems such as this.
