Once is Never Enough

I loved it!!!! It is outstanding.

Hi there MysteryMe I haven't reviewed on your works for awhile and was looking forward to more Winter Asylum xD Decided to read your first poem.

This is really inspiring. It truly reflects a writer's feeling, hopes and dreams, to explore everything, to know everything, to widen their knowledge, to live their characters' lives. It was simply stunning and amazing because everything written here is true-- the reader can definitely feel the strong hope in this poem.

I'm not one to point our mistakes in poems, because I'm not good with poem formats and all that, although I enjoy reading them. Honestly, I didn't find anything wrong with this one

Anyway, here's my favourite stanza, one that really stood out from the rest to me:

"I know we may sound desperate

I know we may sound gruff

But when it comes to living

Once is never enough."

I was quite unresponsive to know it ended, I really wanted to read more. This was really nice, it totally captured me on the emotional level.

This was great! I can complete relate to this poem and I'm able to connect with it on an emotional level. To be honest, the flow of the words was sometimes off; however I think you captured who the writer is as a person very well. Great job!

Hi, Cheetah here!

This was really good, it expressed how much we love writing! This was my favorite part:

It’s in our nature
As us writers at home
To yearn to experience
Every life as we roam

I loved it!! Thanks so much for sharing!

Knight Malachi here to review as Review Day comes to a close in a nail-biter.
This is exactly how I feel. I always have all these ideas, and think of all these different stories that could come out of just walking by these different people in everyday situation.s

Peaceful as we are, we dream every night

Of how it feels to be stabbed by a knife

We can’t help but wonder what it's like

To be caught up in a deadly strife

That is definitely something I've thought of a lot, as is pretty much everything you wrote in this poem. I always wonder how I would respond in the situations I put my characters in. Especially in the book I am writing now, which the main character is me, and I am trying to get it as accurate as I can. And I always wonder "What would I do?"

Despite what logic may tell us

We have a picture in mind

Of being every person

Whether evil or kind

Once again true. I always see someone and think, hmm I wonder what they are like? And I will envision perhaps something that will happen. Like I will be in a store and see someone who might look mean in my opinion, and I will think up a scenario of if they started doing something, like pulling out a gun, or stealing something, what would I do.
I tell you all this to show that this poem hit the nail on the head. I liked your rhyming, especially after reading a lot of free-verse poems which I don't like as much. I saw no errors. Good job.
Keep it up!
Happy review Day!!!!

Oh my word...
This is absolute genius! I'm not sure if it's the poet in you or the person that means this piece so wonderful.

So relatable to any writer, and the fact that it rhymes! -- sucker for rhyming poetry

Thank you for reminding us writers of that amazing feeling, truly can't stop smiling.

Thank you so much

I'm just overwhelmed right now about how much truth is in poem. Any writer can relate to this. Any actor/actress too. You've summed up all us dreamers & pretenders perfectly. This is the first time I've read any of your works. You ARE a storyteller, that is clear through this poem. I think you're a natural at poetry too. Keep experimenting with it! I kind of want to print out this poem and keep it tucked away somewhere, it's that relevant to my sentiments towards life.
Your words are meant for the page <3 If you're more confident in the short story department, you must be pretty remarkable! But you fit the shoes of poet quite well. You should certainly not abandon that persona, it flatters you nicely.

I'll keep reading that's for sure!

Is this really your first serious attempt at poetry? Because if it is, you're born to be a poet, too! Once again, thank you so much for sharing this! I really connected to it, especially once I realized you were talking about writers again. The way your words flow and the rhythm of each line...it's just great. The entire time I was thinking of how true all your words are. I am so impressed each time I read one of your works! Thank you for sharing and I look forward to more--and keep up with the poetry, because this was amazing.
