I have to say, I really quite enjoyed this poem. It had actual meaning, and it's something I could relate to, being a writer myself. I especially loved the line, "As the boy who never could be as strong as he writes."
The only real problem I have with this piece is the way you broke up the stanzas. I understand that you were trying to emphasize certain words this way, but I think some of it still needs changing. For example, in the line "I write to make you the person I could never be," I think it would be better if you separated it like, "I write to make you," "the person," and "I could never be." I don't know, but I just think it would sound smoother like that. There are a few parts like that which I suggest that you rethink. Well besides, this was a really great poem with some very deep, inspiring words. Great work
Hey there! Green Lantern here for a review!
(Yes, that is a compliment)
Keep writing!
This was so beautiful and meaningful. I loved the ideas you expressed her and the way you did so.
There are some times when you wrote never could, and I think maybe it would flow more cohesively if you switched the two around and wrote could never. It just seemed to fit better in my opinion.
Hm. This is terrible. I can't think of what to say to help you improve this! I really liked this, and I'm having a hard time finding problems with it.
The only thing I can think that I didn't like so much is the ending. I almost feel like "be the change" is a slightly anticlimactic last line. I've always felt like the last line should really rap together the whole poem, but this one almost didn't fit. Maybe see if you can tie the ending back into the beginning?
Anyway, I hope maybe I was at least a little bit helpful? If you have any questions or comments let me know.
Slight edit there.
This is so heartbreakingly true. There are so many things that I wish I could be, so many lives that I wish I could have lived, but that I will never get the chance to. My writing is in essence, me. These are the things that I wish I could've done, the people I wish I could've been, the worlds I wanted to live in.
I think that this is true for every author. No matter who you are, or where you are from.
I liked the ending. But, I also believe that is if you try hard enough, you can be the change. If you aren't the change that you want to see in the world, who will be?
This was very truthful, and lacking in errors. I enjoyed reading it.
As a writer myself I want to so desperately reach to people, touch people, be something, show the world something. From this poem I get a sense that conveys that, as by knowing you it also seems like something you would like to write because of past frustration.
I think at the end of a couple of your lines you have decided to end on a single word to emphasis that word. However I think that you may have missed the mark a bit. For example 'be' is not really a significant word and I think it would work nicer if it stuck with the previous line. "the person I never could be".
Same goes with the previous stanza. I think that "of pure intuition." works better.
The separation of this makes me feel like you want it to stand out, but I think you could re-write this same message so it is more powerful. At the moment i feel like you are just blankly stating something.
Lastly you repeated "sulk in" in no particular fashion.
Don't be discouraged, I put the bad things out of the way first so that now I can focus of why it is amazing.
The main thing i love about this is the feeling it conveys. Both what i mentioned above as well as a sort of sadness in the final lines:
I really can't pick out lines to be my favourites because I really like all of them, its hard to point out the good things when you like the whole poem. Your punctuation seems correct enough and to be honest I think that getting alot of likes but not many reviews like you did is a good sign, reviews are only useful when people find things that you can improve on, I'm betting those 6 people enjoyed your poem.
Good job buddy.
UM...this work is great 'kay,i like the concept,its refreshing and well...i couldn't stop looking at it,its great,believe me you,you are definitely a writer.Is this your first poem?i really don't have much to say, other than what i've said before,its nice,beautiful and can reach out to other writers with your words,the secret is understanding the words,the message being conveyed,not if it makes sense or not.Kudos
