God's Princess

Hi there angel19!!
Welcome to YWS...well, I am kinda new here too.

Anyways, first of all, always capitalise!

"I" on its own should always be capitalised and the beginning of every line. I noticed this throughout the poem.
Using small letters makes it look immature...(I do that mistake a lot too..lol)

i am his special kid
i am always in his access

oh !! stop that cold war

Oh! Stop that cold war.

we all belong to Him.....

he'll record everytime u get me into vain

i will like to say i love yopur poem so much, the simplicity of the poem and it's impressive arrangements are so remarkable. also
the use of various words and phrases to emphasis and draw- home the
meaning of this poem is so so amazing.

but you see, there some gramatic errors and some mistakes in the general spelling of words in your poem.

i advice you go through it again and edit it properly.

again, go ahead and criticize the works of other people, review them.

thanks

cheers

Please don't advertise for your own pieces in critiques. Let's help out the author of this one first, okay? Love, Poetry Crew.

Hello there, Angel, and welcome to YWS.

1) I edited your title so that it's not in all caps. That's a no-no...it looks annoying and discourages people from reviewing your work.

2) As the others have said, get out there and review! Nobody will want to critique your work unless you write some reviews yourself.

3) Poetry is not the place for chatspeak.

Hey, angel19 (and welcome aboard)!

First, I have to point one thing out. It seems you haven't done any reviews yet, and here in YWS we have the kind of rule that says you must do at least 2 reviews before posting your own work. Oh, I just noticed that Kalliope had told that already. Well, there's nothing wrong with revision, right?

I also have to talk about the i's and u's. Chatspeak isn't allowed here, and this piece seems to be of the kind that doesn't look good with chatspeak. Do my words make any sense? I mean, the subject is clearly important to you, and you had some good points, so the correct way of writing would let them really shine. Some punctuation would be good, too.

When you have corrected the spelling errors, have a new look on your poem, and if only you can, do it objectively. That is to say, read it like someone else had written it. That way you'll maybe notice a whole new bunch of things you hadn't thought of before. You can think, for example, some of these things: When could the words rhyme? When doesn't rhyming sound or look good? Could you maybe divide some stanzas into two? Could you expand your meanings? Could you reword some lines? Could you rebuild some lines? etc.

I hope this was of any help, and if you didn't understand my point, just PM me. See you around and keep writing!

Hello angel19,

welcome to YWS! It's great that you like to write and are eager to share your work. Here on YWS there are a lot of very talented and helpful people that can give you some useful tips. I myself learn how to improve all the time.

We do have a rule here, though that says to critique two other pieces for every piece of yours you post. It benefits the community, plus a lot of members are likely to take a look at one of your pieces in return. You're new here, so it's more than alright that you didn't know about it, that's why I'm pointing it out. Plus, I'm yure you can give some good advice to others.

Why don't you introduce yourself in the Welcome Forum. That way you'll meet lots of friendly people that are glad to help you around the site. (It can be a little hard to navigate in the beginning...)

Now to your poem:

I have a few tips for you that will make people more likely to read and review your poem.

1) Title

A lot of people on this site are allergic to titles that are completely capitalised. It's unnecessary and distracts from the actual topic. Also people won't take the poem itself seriously, if they're already annoyed at your spelling of the title.

2) Spelling

This is a writing site, so people will be very picky about not capitalized i's and u's instead of you's. They won't take you serious if you don't put enough effort into your work to use correct spelling. (No one will yell at you for small spelling mistakes or typos, we all make those, just don't use chat speak-shortcuts and proofread before posting )

I hope I didn't sound harsh or anything, I'm just trying to give you some good advice

Once more: Welcome!

All the best and feel free to PM me any time if you need help or have a question.
