6,874 pages

58 pages a day

Calculus, Chemistry, Differential Equations

But nothing for me to say

.

You radiate with 38,000 lumens

10,000 more than a solar flare

My new favorite color is #cd853f

The approximate color of your hair

.

Your smile resembles x^2=y/10

And so does mine when I see you

About 3,497,965,210 women on earth

And all of them wanting to be you

.

Sorry I really have nothing to say

Romance and I don't agree

Maybe I'll catch you later...

"Shut up you moron;

And kiss me"

LOL. My favorite part of this poem are the two last lines of it. You have all of this technical stuff, and then, there are the two only normal lines in the whole poem. Honestly, as I read this, I imagine this as a poem dedicated to Leonard and Penny form the Big Bang Theory (If you never saw the show in your entire life, Leonard is the nerd scientist of the relationship, and Penny is the alcoholic blonde who ends up growing a brain by the modern portion of the series). Leonard would be speaking throughout the whole thing, and Penny is the one saying, "Shut up you moron/And kiss me." Oh, how I would love that turnout. Anyway, enough rambling. I just love this poem in general. Nicely done.

Your poem is so unique. That's one of the great things about it. The best poetry i when its unique and gives a reader a way of seeing inside its author. And that is exactly what you did. This was absolutely amazing. Your style is very pleasant to read. I enjoyed reading this very much. I will most definitely read more of your work.

Hi I'm Giselle and here's my review !

This was actually the first poem I read that involved numbers and equations that held a different meaning instead of the one they were created to mean. While reading, I gotta admit it had me thinking of my pre cal class. Then I started thinking of the Big Bang Theory. Anyway I love how you ended it.

Keep up the good work :D

Hey Hadj.

This was an interesting poem. Honestly, when I clicked on your poem, this was not what I had in mind. But I quite liked it. Anyway, onto the review.

To be entirely truthful, at first glance your poem confused me. When I read the first stanza, I thought it was going to be something about school, until I got to the "but nothing for me to say". This puzzled me; I don't know, it just didn't flow for me.

The second stanza was when the poem actually got going for me. The description of how this other person radiates is outstanding. The third stanza was my favorite, especially the last line, "and all of them wanting to be you". It rhymed super well and gave more insight to this person that you're talking about.

The fourth stanza also sort of confused me. Maybe it was the switch between two people talking (I think?). I did enjoy the idea of the ending though. Haha. Typical. ^^ Also, I sort of came to understand that in the beginning of the poem, the narrator was just speechless at the woman's amazingness.

Cool poem. It made me smile. :D

Yours,
Sav

I quite liked this! I honestly couldn't find anything wrong with this. I mean, how could one say there's something wrong with someone's poetry? I especially like the science and math in it, since I'm a huge science and math geek. I wonder if I could swoon someone by reciting some of the things in this poem...



Every time I’ve gotten feedback that was hard to take it was usually hard to take because there was truth in it and I didn’t like that (or didn’t want to receive it). That’s not to say all harsh feedback is good or that we should be harsh for harshness’ sake, but learning to absorb truth without letting it break your inner core/break you is a lifelong skill that keeps your mind elastic and open to learning.
