Hello, Tsholdin.

Kanome here with a wonderful review for you.

Well, first off, my general opinion of this poem is that even though it is short, I can see the meaning behind it, at least in my own eyes.

"Love never dies."

Love really never dies. It continues to grow stronger and stronger, no matter what the situation is.

"Beauty never fades."

Beauty is within a person, so no matter how old you get, you will always be beautiful to other person's eyes.

Lastly, "Time never replays."

Tim never stops, it continues throughout life with new memories and promises in the world.

This is what I think of this poem. If I'm wrong, then I am truly sorry if I messed up the true meaning of this poem.

Anyways, keep up the good work! I can't wait to read more of your writing c:

Hey Tsholdin, Sis here to review Never for Review Day! One word:
BOOM.
My brain just exploded. I've looked at so many ways to read this, just...wow. I think my favorite way to read this is starting with Love, Beauty, Time. Then going to Dies, Fades, Replays. I've thrown the never's in at different places but I'm not sure where my favorite part is yet. Okay, enough rambling! Here we go!

This poem has truth in it, and also opinion. When you say love never dies, I view that as an opinion, because I believe that you can stop loving someone. But then I think, maybe that's not what they're talking about. Maybe the meaning is that LOVE never dies. Not loving someone else. Beauty never fades, that can be viewed both ways as well. Physical beauty can fade. People can grow old and "ugly." But inside, if you were once beautiful there, I believe that you always will be. Time never replays is truth. This is my favorite line when read left to right, because of the raw truth in it. When you say time never replays, that means something to me. For me that means, there won't be a second chance so don't be an idiot.

I'm not sure what inspired you to write this, but you started, and you wrote. (Wow. I just noticed you joined a few days ago, so Welcome to YWS!!!!! *fireworks*) Just know, this is an amazing piece of literature and I loved it. A lot. See ya around the site!

Hey there Tsholdin!
I would just like to say I don't do all that well with short poems, but this one really intrigued me!
I did catch on with this poem eventually, when I did I was really pleased with the riddle like nature of it and how you managed to capture a lot of meaning within a few lines. The different ways of reading this are polar opposites and I really like how you incorporated that into it!
I can't find a whole lot wrong with this poem, ('cause it is short) maybe you could not add the extra bits in bold to make it more of a challenge to figure it out?
Overall, I really liked the abstract nature of this!

I have to be honest, I didn't get anything from this poem. Its just a bit too cliche. I see the idea you are going for, but disagree with the use of some of the most cliche descriptions in the book. Just doesn't work for me.

Hello there, Tsholdin,

This is very short and I don't do very well with short reviews, but I will try haha.

This is piece is short like I said but it really captures sssoooo much meaning. And I love it! You do a great job of highlighting the differences. I love the line "Time never Replays" because It is so very true. We have a short time, and we don't get any do-overs. So we have to be careful about the way we use it. I also loved "beauty never fades" because in society has a very different view on that. If you are beautiful once (and everyone is in their way) you always will be in your own special way. The line "Line never Dies" is difficult because it can, I probably would have put 'true love' or something more like that.

I also love how you italicized never in each line.

Very nice work, keep writing.

--Cam

Thank you so much!

Here for the first comment!
I enjoyed how you made sure the opposite meanings were clear and concise, and how it was straight to the point. A reader can easily see their state of mind by which thought they prefer. There's not much more to say, because it's very good!
Love the meaning!

Thank you so much!!! This is my favorite piece that I have written so far. I actually wrote it over two year ago.
