Something to think about.

Hehe, this made me laugh. It made me think of this poem I once read in class about comparing a lab rat to poetry (i.e. how people analyze them way too much).
I mean, what's to edit? It's short, quirky, and sort poking fun at poetry while at the same time poking fun at the reader. I like it.
I'm not going to rate this, but I really did like it .

Hi there. Review for you on this fantastic Feb. 2014 Review Day!

First, I love the premise of this poem and I think it forces the reader to really explore the way in which perspective can impact someone's views on basically anything. The idea of communicating this concept through poetry was very interesting to me, as I believe that poetry is the literary form which lends itself most to perspective and personal interpretation. I also like the commentary you included on the length of the poem. Often people form opinions of poems or really literary works in general based on their length. There have been incredibly long poems that are not so good, just like there have been short poems that are amazing, and visa-versa. I think that this poem contains an interesting message for anyone who reads it: nothing is set-in-stone and nothing is really more or less beautiful than anything else. It's all about your point of view.

My favorite part of this poem was the "So do you think you are correct?" It's always cool when the text engages the reader and forces them to ponder things they probably wouldn't have before. The use of this question really adds a whole new dimension to this poem. Not only does it present the reader with a viewpoint on perspective, but then asks them to apply it to their own introspective process. The way the question is broken up into one word for every line makes it even more effective because it forces the reader to slow down and really think about what it's asking.

As far as constructive criticism goes, I can't really think of much. Sorry. Give yourself a big old pat on the back. Well done.

Hello!
This was a very unique poem.
I'm not quite sure what you were going for here, and I'm not quite sure if you knew either.
What do you mean that it is only peoples' opinions that make it short? Do you mean that we perceive it as short compared to other poems? Do you mean that people judging this poem make it feel bad and want to be short? I'm not quite sure.
I'm not quite sure what your purpose for writing this was, or what you really meant by writing it.
I don't know if I'm correct, because I really don't have any opinion at all on this piece. It's nothing special, yet it is unique, which makes it special. It's all very confusing. Maybe if you focused, really looked at this, and thought "why did I write this? What am I trying to say here?" you could find your purpose for writing this, and make it clearer. I'm sure it would give all of us a different perspective.
I enjoyed your use of the o's in looong to make it seem long. I thought that was cute, and it was very visual.
Keep trying!

Hi, happy review day! I liked this poem. I guess the point is to make the reader think, and it does kind of do that. I didn't really like your word choice in this line: "yet it is only people's opinions" you could change it up a little. This is definitely an interesting choice in topic for a poem. Overall I thought it was pretty good but perhaps if you change the wording around it could be even better. Good job!

Deadman here with a review. Okay, well welcome to YWS, I hope you're liking it here. I'll be honest I don't have a ton of stuff to work with here, seeing as I see it as a short poem. Despite the elongated question, it's still short. Do you know what I say it's a short poem? Well think about it, with it broken up, without any sort of punctuation, on that elongated question, it makes the reader want to read it fast. So in other words, fast = short. Therefor I see it as a short poem. I like how you as a qquestion at the end and make the reader think. I'll also be honest and say I was surprised. The first couple lines made me think I was reading an introduction, rather than the poem itself. That was really neat though, with how it transitioned.

Other than all of that, I don't really have much to say. It was a good short poem and it was rather interesting. I hope to see more in the future. I also hope I helped you out. Until next time, happy writing!



Cheers,




Deadman XD

Great, this was short and long at the same time, lol, I didn't understand myself, but anyway, I like your poem, about a poem hehe.

Keep sharing

I liked it. That is a really good question also. I think it is a short poem but the way you dragged out the question made it seem long. It seems to me that you didn't really have an idea when you started writing and you just turned it into something. I really like the way that even though there seems to be no purpose it still has meaning. Good job, Good luck, and keep on writing

awesomesauce. Stop messing with my brain >:)
