Young Writers Society

Hey there!

Just stopping by to write a review, sorry in advance if it’s short (I’m not great at reviews)

The first stanza was so relatable that I smiled. Don’t get me wrong, I love to leave a review and hope that I brighten someone’s day or at least encourage them to write more. But every time I go to write a review I feel like it’s just not as deep and meaningful as some the other ones I’ve seen. Maybe it’s because I don’t know much about poetry and such (skill issue, lol).

All that aside, I feel your peon was very deep and meaningful. There are some days I can really relate to your words and some days I can’t. That last stanza really stuck out to me and made me think about life itself. As I’ve gotten older the ‘time flies’ saying has begun to make more sense.

I know this wasn’t really a review and was more like me rambling, but I hope that you found it useful in some way (no matter how small). I loved this poem, keep writing and never give up.

Stay Blessed by the Best

Cheers!

Hi hi!

This is so relatable! I'm new to the site, but I completely understand how you feel... reviewing is so fun, but it's so draining at the same time! I'm the middle of my own little writer's block, which isn't making it any easier too, hahah! :')

You did well capturing the feeling! When it comes to things like this, there is always a sense of missing out if you don't participate. Everyone writes so many reviews a day and it's so impressive! But it's like so scary too! I liked how personal you were in this poem. You didn't beat around the bush with how you felt. I don't read a lot of poetry often, but it's nice to see something so unabashedly real!

The other reviewer gave great advice, too. Don't give up! It's not easy to always think up comments for reviews, but that's how you improve yourself! I'm still getting the hang of things personally, but I like feeling like I've learned something new!

Though, I wish there was something deeper to this poem! The meaning and theme is there, but it's not strengthened by anything. You have excellent starts to imagery, but I don't feel it coming off of the page. That does work with the theme though... it's hard to get out of a rut like that. A little more imagery would build more of a narrative though, I think. Describe everything you can think of!

I liked this poem! I hope you feel more confident reviewing soon! <3

Hello, I hope you dont mind me popping in with a quick review. I will apologize if it is short but I hope it can brighten your day nonetheless. I think I should stop rambling and start things off. Let's get into it, shall we?

Overall this was a short but impactful read. You did a good job portraying your struggle even if things like writing and reviewing seem hard. I feel the conflicting lines show what it is like to be stuck in that type of head space. You don't know what you know at that point. I feel the second to last stanza is relatable as going through stuff like this not only drains you of what you love but also makes you focus on what you didn't do.

I should know as I had stretch of time like this a few months ago and it can be slow to leave it.

Normally here's where I would put feedback but I couldn't find any. Instead, I think I will give you some kind words and my closing thoughts.

This poem was an effective look into your struggle and I want to thank you for sharing. Like I said before it can be hard to get out of low points like this but you're not alone, lots of people care about you. Please take care of your self and don't be too hard on yourself if you aren't doing what you want to just yet.

As always get some rest, stay creative and remember to drink water!

( And please don't give up!)
