Writing is All I Know

Rhyming, timing,
Dreaming, scheming,
The words they seem to flow

Pencil, paper,
Idea shaper,
Writing is all I know

Novels, stories,
Tales of glory,
Worlds at my command

Write it, type it,
Nothing like it,
Writing is all I know

I feel like this is kind of...brief. Usually I'm a big fan of short, but concise but in this case it felt like you were just getting your thoughts rolling and then you stopped.
Besides that, it was a great poem with energy and rhythm. Good job.
keep thyming,
Empress

this was written really well! :D
I rather enjoyed reading it, it had a nice pattern and flow to it. The short two first lines, followed by the last a bit longer, i liked it.
It was really good. Can't find nothing wrong with it. :D

I love it! The rhythm in this is beautifully light.

Apart from what has already been said, 'noting,' in the last verse should be 'nothing.'

I would say you could encorperate a rhyming scheme with the last line of each stanza, but I quite like the whole thing the way it is.

Well done :)

Hello there. This was quite a well written poem, and I could find nothing wrong with it except for grammar.
Each stanza which you've written consists of four words and then a short phrase.
To punctuate them, you do this:

Rhyming, timing,
Dreaming, scheming,
The words they seem to flow


Where it should be:
'
Rhyming, timing,
Dreaming, scheming;
The words they seem to flow.


Semi-colon: These usually happen when you want to merge two complete thoughts into one sentence, which is exactly what your doing.

Period: It outs a final stop and gives a sense of closure to each stanza, or sentence. Even poems must follow the basic rules of grammar.

Other then that, I loved it. It was provocative and very well written. Other then what I mentioned in the review, I wouldn't change a thing.

PM me if you have questions.



Why should Caesar just get to stomp around like a giant while the rest of us try not to get smushed under his big feet? Brutus is just as cute as Caesar, right? Brutus is just as smart as Caesar, people totally like Brutus just as much as they like Caesar, and when did it become okay for one person to be the boss of everybody because that's not what Rome is about! We should totally just stab Caesar!
