The Realm of Insanity

So, now you think I was joking?
I rant on and on and on.
For nothing?

There's always a purpose,
you act so vain!

You are one sided,
your bias never changes.
You do the same,
then, I follow in a different context.
With different motives,
you say I'm evil.

You're evil.

You wave them off.
I'm evil.
Crazy.

Insane.

Okay, it's technically a sequel. Please review, then if you like, you can read the other one. If I called it a series, I was afraid people wouldn't review. Aren't I insane? :wink: Hehe. Here's a link if you want to read it. But don't feel the need to read it.

I'm not sure what to think of this, i agree with the first reviewer in that it seems much like a conversation, which makes it a very unconventional poem, which can be either a good thing or a bad thing depending on what you were going for. Also, it was a bit confusing even for being short, with such short poetry, you can't really confuse people too much or else your audience will just lose interest.

Hey. :) I did enjoy reading this poem, but there are a few things you could do to make it better. :)

First off, the stanzas were different lengths, which throws off the flow of the poem slightly. I mean, if you like it that way, then you can keep it, but it does throw the reader off slightly. But, I say again, if you like it, keep it. :) At the end of writing, all that matters is that your writing is making yourself happy. :)

So, now you think I was joking? Great way to start off this poem. :)
I rant on and on and on. This should be a comma instead of a period.
For nothing? The F here shouldn't be capitalized.

There's always a purpose,
you act so vain! I would suggest changing this to make more sense to something like, "There's always a reason you act so vain!" It doesn't have to be that exactly, but that sentence doesn't make much sense.

You are one sided,
your bias never changes. Maybe change this to your biased opinions never change, because the line you have there doesn't really make much sense.
You do the same,
then, I follow in a different context. Maybe you should change this to something else, it just sounds off.
With different motives,
you say I'm evil. I really like this line. It just fits this poem very well. :) Awesome job on that.

You're evil. I'm not sure how I feel about this line. It just seems like you've already stated the 'You' in this poem isn't a very good person, at all.

You wave them off.
I'm evil.
Crazy. These last two lines don't really make sense. It's just like you added two filler lines here. If you could add another line here, before the I'm evil line, this stanza would be even better. :)

Insane.


Wonderful job. Fix those few mistakes, and your poem will be even better. :) So, like I said, I really enjoyed reading this, and I hope you found this review helpful. :)

I like this, i find it nice simple and refreshing. But i feel like this is nothing but a conversation, I'm not sure what you are try to achieve and I'm no poetry expert but to me it seems like a weird conversation. it's just lacking something that would make it a wonderful piece of poetry. Although the repartition is nice. I also like how you have show your message in a clear and simple way but still give us something to think about.

Great work!



“Such nonsense!" declared Dr Greysteel. "Whoever heard of cats doing anything useful!" "Except for staring at one in a supercilious manner," said Strange. "That has a sort of moral usefulness, I suppose, in making one feel uncomfortable and encouraging sober reflection upon one's imperfections.”
