Cherry Stems x

I really like it, it's really sweet. I think, though, that in the first line, you should take out one of the "red"s because you have two of them. It's way better than any acrostic poem I've written, that's for sure. That's what it's called by the way, acrostic. I agree that you could fill the jealousy the MC felt, and I liked that. Good job!

Though you may not think so, I thought this was a veryyyyyyyyy good piece. I enjoyed how each sentence began with the next letter in "cherry stems". I felt that you could sense the sort of jealousy that the MC felt. I could also see how she wanted to match everything this other girl did. I understood where she was coming from also. that position is well known to me. but overall very good. No grammatical errors stood out to me. So keep writing, I like your technique of finding your title first and building the poem around it. Amazing.
Great Job!
Keep Writing.

Actually, I really liked it! Of course, the title is intriguing just by itself, what with the implications of cherry stems... And I like how the cherry stem tied in a not is not just the way it normally is - I like how it symbolizes other things. His old girlfriend and the fact that there are other girls out there too, girls like she was but better. And I loved the keeping of the cherry metaphor in having the couch divided into a "tart" side and a "sweet" side.

The only suggestion I'd possibly make is cutting up the lines more; they tend to read like a story more than a poem, at least in the first stanza - but then that would ruin having "cherry stems" spelled down the side, so I don't know.

Great job!
