To YWS (Happy Sixth Birthday)

Topic locked.

I would list them all if there was space.

Haha, I just came across this. This is real cute! I love it! November 14 is my little sister's birthday! What a coincidence...two very wonderful things on this day happened! I'm sure the site creators really appreciate this.

Awesome. I love this! Just one nitpicky thing.
On the "Six year since our founding" part, there's supposed to be an "s" after year.
Other than that, it's all .

Even though I'm just reviewing this now... Go YWS. You wrote this awesomely.

This is lovely Lily. I'm glad this was featured. It comprises the entirety of YWS in an easy to read, easy to decipher, boldly written poem that cleverly articulates the tenacity that YWS tends to follow. Good job!

Evenin' Lilymoore,

Firstly, this poem is naturally admirable and full of lovely jubly compliments so it is only all to obvious that we're all going to love it and love you for doing it. However, in terms of writing it's a wee bit here and there. Here's my review (:

lilymoore wrote:Young Writers Society, #0040FF ">I think someone mentioned this already, but I'm not sure that starting an acrostic with the acrostic is always the most intriguing opening. However, I can see why it was rational and to come up with an alternative may be a wee bit tricky. Although, something as simple as "You:" would really bring me in, you know? 'Cause it's very direct - and essentially you're still talking to all of YWS, just more implicitly.
Oh what can I say? #0040FF ">Kind'a sounds cheerful and cheeky, I like it.
Under any circumstance,
None can deny that we’re
Great. #0040FF ">Not a nit-pick, but just a suggestion. You've set yourself up to say anything here, so why not say anything? This is poetry. Avoid the old bangers like "great" on its own. Why not portray YWS's crazyness by saying somethins like: "No-one can deny that we're Gooey, amazing and great." It just keeps up your rhythm of dum de-dum de-dum. If I'm making sense?

We've so many awesome members,
Rina and Meshie, Fire and Nate, #0040FF ">Love the rhythm here.
I would list them all if there was space.
The friends that we’ve made here,
Even the ones soon to come,
(Really we'll welcome anyone),
Should feel blessed that this site will be here for years on. #0040FF ">You seem to punctuate every line. Is there a reason for this? I just feel that where there's a natural rhythm in your poetry it sometimes feels a bit forced because you've explicitly told us right, comma, take a break, and go again Such as on the end of the line "Even the ones soon to come," I wouldn't put a comma because essentially: "Even the ones soon to come should feel blessed..." runs quite fluently, so why break it up?

Six year#0040FF ">s gone a-bye-bye since our founding: #0040FF ">Not trying to suggest you use this, but just trying to make a point for you to be wacky, jump out of the boat and offer us your true wonderous imagination of words and vocab that I know you have.
Oh it’s been a memorable run. #0040FF ">I like this, but I'd change the period to a semi-colon so that the next line is almost interruptive and the reader can flow along with your lines better.
Can you even imagine the internet being so fun?
I encourage you all,

YWS: six more years to come! #0040FF ">Couldn't have ended it better!

Awesome work Lily! I love the format of the whole poem.

Absolutly love it. *clicks like button*

I like your idea
It seemed really enthusiastic, though. Kind of fake. Almost like you were trying to be a cheerleader for Young Writers Society, which, for some reason, came off almost annoying lol.

I enjoyed reading.
Next time maybe try to show more of why you enjoy Young Writers Society, so there's less commercialization to it.

Ooh, cool poem! I love it! xD And, it's in acrostics! Epic cool! lol (I'm so exaggerating XD)

I hate acrostic poems, but this poem is plain awesome.
So kudos to you.

Epic, Lily.

Lily, you're brilliant.

And to throw in something helpful, the last line of the second stanza feels too long.

Nonetheless, you rule. =D

I LOVE IT!
Keep Writing!

SIX BILLION LIKES!

Lileh!
I reaaally don't want to point a very nitpicky thing, but I find starting these acrostic-like things with the actual word a bit meh.
Still, this is awesome.

~Sistah!

So this is what you were doing Lily! Do you have a theme for this! This should be our anthem for two years! I love the way, the first letters of every line spell out Young Writers Society.
