Thank you for all the kind reviews and the honest oppinnions. I will check out your poetry and I will keep on working on my own poetry. I'm glad most of you seem to like my poetry. It makes me very happy. The only thing I wanted to say other than that is I dont believe my poetry was full of cliches and my poetry is very personal. Also I do ead poetry but thank you for your very honest review.

full of cliche, completely devoid of sensory detail, repetitive, forced rhyme, inactive, uninteresting, nearly style-less.

here is my advice. When you write, try to SHOW and not TELL. Which is sort of a cliche suggestion, but I think it's a good place to start. Experiment with sensory detail, words and images that appeal to the senses, because after all, that is how we experience the world. Through our senses. Emotions are only secondary.

Or, keep doing what you're doing. Your poetry is personal, I understand that, but that's all it will be.

also, try reading some poetry.

best,

Hello I'll be your reviewer today. Overall I loved your piece, I don't really review poems I just write them. There's one thing I noticed that you didn't really pay attention to your commas and periods and stuff like that. I personally don't care but some of the people on yws will correct you on it. It kinda was a little confusing because I didn't know when one idea ended and another started. Loved it though. If you would please review some of my works to. Thanks.

alwaysjustme wrote:You make me smile
You make me laugh
You make it okay
You make me want to beg you to stay
You make me wish upon shooting stars
For a love I know will never be ours --> Nice rhyme with stars and ours :]
I love you more than you could ever know
I love you in a way that rips apart my soul --> This was my favorite line of the entire poem!
And you say you care
But you cant deny --> It should be can't
The real reason why
You only care because your a good person
Too good for me
I dont deserve you
And I just wait for you to leave
Cause you dont even know why you stay --> It should be don't
why you put up with me
And no one ever stays
So why should you?
And everyday
I fall a little deeper in love
I let myself hope
I let myself pray
That for once somebody will stay --> Really strong ending! Good job!


Very nice! I liked this a lot. One thing I found...maybe try to go through and add some punctuation. While reading it I had some trouble because I didn't know where one idea ended and the next one started. All in all this was a very good first post! Keep it up!

Hi I'm Snickerdooly! Welcme to YWS I hope you love it here as much as I do! Some of the time I never get any reviews on my pieces but thats the only bad part. :) So about this poem that you wrote I thought it was really nice and said a lot of things that flowed nicely and had good rythme. This piece was also really sad and emotional! I think you did a great job I'll definitely look out for more of your work! Thanks for posting I enjoyed this so much!
Peace,
Snickerdooly

This is really good. But you had a small mistake with capitals on the line where it says " cause you don't even know why you stay"; it's just minor. Other than that there's nothing wrong with it. Good job.
