In Poems

Express yourself freely!

Make a good first impression!

1 million mistakes = okay! Don't try to be perfect! Nobody is, was or will be!

0 excuses! Don't lie!

1 more chance to give someone? Give it! Be generous!

Creativity can't be contained! Let it shine brightly like the star that you are!

A good friend is worth more than any precious gem! Don't let them go!

True to yourself and others!

Stay who you are! Don't ever change the letters in Y-O-U!

Hey, I liked your poem, it is short but it says quite a lot. I really like the style in which it is written it takes me back. I liked the line about mistakes " 1 million mistakes = okay! Don't try to be perfect! Nobody is, was or will be!", i think probably many people can relate to that and they should listen to those words because it is true no one is perfect or was or will be.
But i don't really get the next line " 0 excuses! Don't lie!" ok i get the part about 0 excuses but don't lie doesn't quite go threw to me. I think i get the whole concept of it but it just doesn't sit right in the poem maybe if it was explained or referred to something it would sit better in and excuses aren't always lies but plain simple excuses for something.
So many people doesn't know how worthy is good friendship so the line about friends spoke volumes to me " A good friend is worth more than any precious gem! Don't let them go!" it's just grate written.
" True to yourself and others!" That statement is true nothing else to say.
"Stay who you are! Don't ever change the letters in Y-O-U!" and the end really is inspirational and positive. I especially like how you wrote Y-O-U that's just grate and it gives bigger meaning to it.
Keep on the good work.

Thank you very much!

Hi!
What a great idea! I love acrostic poems! Here's a few suggestions to make it even better:

Express yourself freely!

Make a good first impression!

1 million mistakes = okay! Don't try to be perfect! Nobody is, was or will be! (I think this is a little to long, and the equal sign does nothing for your poem. Try to reword it to something shorter like this: 1 million mistakes are okay to make; perfection, there is no such thing!)

0 excuses! Don't lie! (I don't really understand the Don't lie part of this line, an excuse isn't always a lie.)

1 more chance to give someone? Give it! Be generous! (I think you might be missing the word to after give, and there doesn't need to be an exclamation after someone because you aren't asking a question.)

Creativity can't be contained! Let it shine brightly like the star that you are! (Try making this only one sentence. maybe something like this: Creativity is un-containable, set it free!)

A good friend is worth more than any precious gem! Don't let them go! (I really enjoy this line without the second sentence!)

I really liked the message of your poem! Keep on working hard and writing!
xoxo,
