Wow that was amazing!! I loved the line about tying your shoes in all the wrong places. I have never seen such an amzing poet that can make anything work. Keep it up!
Wait, before you go
turning my front steps into a year
(or you merge into another atmosphere)
tell me why your hands are shaking
and I'll explain my stutter.
It's only fair, right?
We trade an eye for an eye,
a few hours for a night.
That's how I get along, anyways
by tying my shoes in all the wrong places.
But you are the perfect knot,
unraveling out my door, and
treading those steps like so many before.
Casually, as if this isn't some renegade ending
with no plot line worth the trouble of mending.

Hi there,
I am not a poet, merely a writer. However, you didn't need a poet to tell you that your poem was quite outstanding. I loved a flow of it, and how it didn't really make sense to a passer by. You kind of had to really read the poem to discover a true meaning.
Sorry it's such a short review, I'm trying to get round to as many poems as possible!
Love, Hayley. xx
What's all this rage? Hm. Hope you don't mind if I do Kat.

Wow, KatTrain, I'm really jealous of you! That was wonderful. I also love the imagery. The rhythm wasn't perfect but the line "with no plot line worth the trouble of mending", well, mended it. For this poem, it just worked. Nice job.
Hey Kat. :]
I'm trying really, really hard to find something to nitpick, so I can feel helpful as a reviewer. But there really isn't anything technical I can pick at. xD It's such a good poem. I enjoyed the imagery quite a lot, and you hint at what you're trying to convey without being blunt. I guess that might be my lone criticism, and it's mostly a matter of personal preference. I know it's really artistic to be vague and whatnot, but leaving your reader with next to no idea what is going on isn't always the best thing. (Or maybe I'm just being slow.) But yeah, overall, a lovely poem!

I too quite enjoyed this poem of yours. You obviously have talent in your writing. I loved your ending, it sounds so real and poignant. It's saying so little and so much at the same time!
Favourite line!tying my shoes in all the wrong places.
Wow this is such a beautiful poem. You deserve a round of applause, a pat on the back, etc 
. purely ingenious and gripping and amazing. I love how it is simple but is such a work of art, the words aren't too complex yet it just touches something within me. And Rob is right. The last line 'with no plot line worth the trouble of mending.' is the most beautiful line ever written. Bravo! And definitely keep on writing!!

Hey there, KatTrain. I'm here it review.
First off, Kat. This is a such a bittersweet and sad poem. But I love it. The flow and rythym aren't perfect, but I've never liked perfection anyways, so it works well. ^^ For me, anyhow. And the imagery is brilliantly beautiful. And I like it. You've written a brilliant little poem, Kat.
Now, nitpicks. Sadly, none. I like it just the way it is and I've seen nothing that can be tinkered with. Overall, Kat, it's a brilliantly beautiful, bittersweet and sad poem and I love it. Adore it, even. *clicks like* Thank you for the beautiful and bitterseet poetry, Kat. I truly do adore it. ^^ Remember, keep it up and never stop writing!

Hy!
First, I just want to congratulate you on a very, VERY good poem.
It is perfect in every way. The flow is good, the emotions are really well contured and the reader can really live the things that come out of the poem.
with no plot line worth the trouble of mending.
Helloooo Kat,
Girl, you have mad skills. That was simply brilliant. I didn't want it end. Your play on words is clever and fresh and your rhyme scheme brings a smile to my face. It flows. It's not forced or contrived. The emotions and the theme of your poem were clear, but not surface level. I have no complaints.
Overall, it was an absolute pleasure to read. I just wish it was longer!
Write On,
Lette
Hey Kat,
You might just be my favorite poet on YWS. No joke.
I really don't have any criticizm for you, this is just brilliant. I mean, only a protegy is a fifteen year old who thinks of "tying my shoes in all the wrong places".
All I can say is keep up the good work!
