Being four

The world is an oyster
I am the pearl
A naive pearl
A perky pearl
I can get my way
or go with the flow
I will bend
or swoop
and snap
a fluffy toy
a woven blanket
praise
and warm milk
is what I desire
I am four

So, um, not really feeling this. It's good and has a good concept, but it could be better, a lot better.

This is good, I don't like, but I'm not a fan of this kind of poetry. But, thus far, I wouldn't change it.

A perky pearl


I don't really like this at all. It doesn't fit, even the alliteration isn't feeling right.

This doesn't feel right at all to me, like, it doesn't fit at all. You've got this whole thing about a child is precious, like a pearl and then that sends a smooth image to me. But bend, swoop, and snap sound very harsh. Plus, I don't really get what you're saying.

praise

Well, this isn't good or bad, it just is.

Meh. That's how I feel this ending is...meh. I wish I could be more descriptive but that's all that I feel...
