Bottled Up Emotions

In Bad Poems

Hey~ I know my poem is really bad xD But I've been feeling really ugh lately. So I decided to unbottle my emotions into a poem.

*

*

You ask me why I don’t talk to you,

About the things that burden me,

It’s because I'm petrified 

Of you not understanding.

*

I'm scared that I'll distract you,

Because I know you're busy.

I’d rather sulk under my rainy cloud.

Than share it with you.

Because I know,

I’ll just be a nuisance.

*

So just like before...

I'll pull out a bottle...

Why bother a human,

When you can fill up a bottle?

Hey, Berry here!

Awesome poem! It's really deep and beautiful and I think everyone can relate to having bottled up emotions. So great job! I'm sorry that I don't have much to edit, but I guess that's a good thing!

One of the little things that I would fix is the
"Of you, not understanding."

I don't think there has to be a comma there and it is a bit of an awkward pause, but I could be wrong.

The only other thing is

"So just like before...
I'll pull out a bottle...
Why bother a human,
When you can fill out a bottle?"

I really like this line, and I like how you repeat B words (I wasn't sure how to explain this) The only thing is that since you use the word bottle twice it ends a bit awkwardly in my opinion. Perhaps choose another similar word? But of course the poem still rocks!

I hope you don't feel ugh anymore and that I can read more of your work!

Thanks for the review. I put a comma there because 'of you' was supposed to be in the line above but it didn't fit. I can't grammar sorry xD

Great job (like all ways) and I like it. The reson is because i can relate. Im sorta a loner i mean look at my page. But anyway lets see if theres any issues....... Nope. I cant really find too much. The endings nice and how my emotions end so this piece even though its rushed in like a few minutes. Well that ends my response. Lone Wolf walking out. : )

Hi MadWriter, Felistia here with a review for you on this wonderful day. :D

Theme: I can see that this is a little rushed compered to your last poems, but I still think it is pretty good. :D I like the whole bottled emotion theme you have going through the poem, it feels much like my life, so I had a really easy time connecting to it. :D

Description: You don't have a lot of description in here and I kind of wish that there was more. The poem doesn't really need description, but I feel that it would be more interesting if you added a few colours. Just a friendly suggestion. :D

Grammar and Punctuation: As for grammar and punctuation, once again you have no problems. :D

Small suggestions: Other that adding a bit of description, I have no suggestion to making the poem better. :D

Overall another great poem and I look forward to what you bring out next. Never stop writing and I hope you have a great day\night. :D

Your friend Felistia. :D

This is a vent piece yes, but it is a very relatable piece. With a view revisions, it could be perfect. I just enjoy this piece because it's emotionally raw. That's truly the best to just let some steam out too. The last stanza concludes intriguingly, almost like it was unexpected?
All in all, I think you should mess around with this piece and see what blooms (:

Your friend,

cheaper

That was a really unique ending!! It's pretty good considering you wrote it a few minutes!! I'm sure that it will get better once you have a chance to edit it!

Just a little tip, if you focus on word choice when you edit, it will be a lot more emotion filled!

Really good for a first draft!!!

Excellent! You really did a great job! I don't even understand why you described your poem as crappy.. :P

Anyhow, I like how you wrote yourself into the poem. It is so endearing and engaging. And yes, you managed to vent your pent-up emotions in a poetic masterpiece :D

Though the first stanza is distracting in a way, the next two stanzas clarify it and even intensify the emotional atmosphere of the poem overall. What I liked most about your poem is how it reached its climax (or hyperbole or whatever) in the last stanza, and in the last two lines in particular.

I ADMIRE the imagery in the second stanza. The rainy-cloud metaphor is the best description of what you feel (or let me say, felt. I guess you feel better right now after writing the poem ;)). Your mind is clouded, and your soul is as disturbed as the sky on a rainy day. Thumbs up (Y)

One more thing, I think you should have worked more on the rhyme scheme. But never mind, we're not living in the Shakespearean era after all, Miss Juliet :D

I give your poem a 9.5/10. Keep writing and make sure to share all your poems with us!

Thank you so much and I lot of people in my poetry say I'm rhyming but I never notice. One thing you should know about me is that I never rhyme in my poetry. I literally just thought what I was thinking and wrote it down. Thank you for rating my poem so highly , I don't deserve it.

Hello there, Madwriter!

You shouldn't have apologized earlier, for this a very deep and touching poem. And of course I can relate to the narrator!

But moving on to what you did well, when I finished reading this poem, I didn't feel like I wasted my time at all! That is something extremly hard to achieve. Next up, I like how the poem is short and straightforward. You could've rattled on and on about feelings and limitations, but you didn't, and that made the differnce. Last but not least, I believe you could improve the word choice, maybe add a few uncommon words here and there to just make it more interesting.

Yours truly,

Erika Hale

Thanks and the narrator is me xD So yeaaah. I wanted this poem to be me just speaking my mind. You know how I would actually speak but I understand what you mean

Hi Mad! Holographic Ladybug here for a review!

Warning:
I am not used to reviewing poems so I'm going to give it my all, even though it won't be my best. Oh well. I'll try!


~Flow~

So you're doing something like speaking your mind, right? Alright, I'm going to assume that you are and tell you that you portray it really well in this poem. Each stanza is like a bubble of thought (or train) and each line is like a thought or feeling or emotion, something that you would probably say out loud if you were to.

~Voice~

Because of what I've said above, I feel like I can literally hear you speaking (even though I have no clue what you sound like XD). You've got such powerful emotional voice here that I feel like I can hear it from your mind itself. (Actually, I'm getting the impression that it is)

~Content~

This is coming from you and I can obviously feel that. Literally, I can feel it. It's like an intense rush of emotion that you've written down. (It could probably power a train :P ) I find this important, especially for this poem, because it's centred around your emotions. Having a poem like this that is flat has no chance of getting your message across or how you feel. You've accomplished this with the best possible way, so the obvious why is evident.

~Ideas~

Yep, I can see it all. It's portrayed realistically and with enough emotion. Good.
Trust me, you did a super job with this. In a way it's simple, but in a good way. Poetry is a great way of getting out your feelings. Some people do it in different way than others or a different way each time (I... Uh.... Yep, mine are weird....).

Overall, fantastic job, Mad. This poem wasn't crap at all.
Till next time!
~Holographic Ladybug :)

Um, no, that's not bad!! I think it's actually good. The last part is somewhat confusing, about putting out a bottle (do you mean like write a poem about your emotions?), but I like the first two stanzas. Even though I'm more of a complainer than a bottle-uper, I can understand what you're saying. I also really like the bottle picture.

I hope you feel better!

Thanks and I found the picture on pinterest~ Yeah I'm going to fix the two lines. I don't want to sound like a alcoholic
