Dear, YWS

In Good poetry :)

Dear,
YWS

Thanks to you
I never finish my
homework.

Thanks to you
my chores are never
completed.

My poor family
is neglected and
alone.

But you YWS
have made me
a new person.

I no longer watch
T.V or pig out on boredom food
I write.

I write poetry
and make new friends
though I don't even know who most of them are.

My life is
easier with you
here.

My life began to
grow and revolve around
you, YWS.

Everyday I visit you
hoping to be featured
but I never am.

No hard feelings though
I get it you're
busy.

With friends
and with enemies life
feels kinda tough.

But with you
here, I know
I'll make it.

Thank you YWS
you've made my life
livable.

Sincerely your biggest stalker,
Snickerdooly

Spoiler! :
I wrote this on a stint of thinking about my obsession with YWS recently, there is not one day that I do not log on. YWS is my internet home page :) If my mother knew what I was doing when I was suppose to be doing my "homework," I wonder what she would do? :) Thanks for reading, this was just a fun thing to do to show how much I love this place so I'm not looking for any major edits. :)
4-26-11 So I have a funny story about my mom it happened after I posted this, I was telling her how I got one of my poems featured on YWS. She asked to read it and I couldn't say no, so after she read it she looked at me and said, "Everything in moderation." Then told me to go do my homework! :) haha just something I thought to share

I really loved this poem.
I think you perfectly explained each and every one of us here.

It's great how you in the beginning it started out as critical as though it was ruining your life. Then, the mood changed into a thank you letter as if it were your main reason for living.

Sincerely your biggest stalker,


I like this line a lot. It's a creative way of saying the endless amount time you spend here.

Keep writing. :)

First of all I would like to say: "Kind of" is too grammatically correct, as is "sort of." "Would of" or "should of," however, are not. In those cases "of" should be "have" or " 've."

Anyways.

As a poem, yes, this actually is kind of bland - there's no imagery. But I can see a lot of potential imagery. Example: "My chores are never completed." There's a LOT of potential here - instead of the bland line "my chores are never completed," you could say something about moldy dishes piling up in the sink or something. There are a lot of lines in here like that - very general, vague lines that could be transformed into something amazing with the right images.

Also, there would not be a comma after "dear" - instead the comma would go after "YWS," as in "Dear YWS, thanks to you..." etc. There are a few other typos, but that one really bugged me.

Overall, though, like I said, this has a lot of potential. I think this is especially true since probably most of us on this site feel exactly this way about it. (I for one still complete my homework and do my chores, but I do love coming on this site and seeing new notifications, and it's the only site on which I really feel like I have friends even though I don't know any of them in real life. Before this site I shunned the idea of Internet friends...oh, well.)

So give this some work and let me know when you do, because I'd love to see it!

Really witty but true nonetheless.

    I no longer watch
    T.V or pig out on boredom food.
    I write.
- I love this stanza because it speaks to me.

    With friends
    and with enemies, life
    feels kinda tough.
- just wanna point out that the stanza doesn't make sense if you don't use punctuation marks.

Happy writing!

Haha... I really liked this. It was funny, but true. I've been through the everyday stalking myself, too. Like the part where you mentioned that you dreamed of being featured, but never are. I felt that way, too. Hihi... this is so cute. I'm sorry. I can't review this.

Keep writing and stalking.

Yay for you! This got featured!! :) I've only been a member for two months now, and I got two of my poems featured recently, too, so I was very happy about that! :)
Any tiny mistakes I noticed were already pointed out, and the only thing otherwise I would comment on would be that sometimes you have a really long line at the end of a stanza that still fit what you were trying to say, but it just seemed out of place. Like this.

and make new friends
though I don't even know who most of them are.

This is a really neat poem. Keep writing!!

I love how it starts off like it;s gonna be a critical poem about how YWS is making your life hard with this:

Thanks to you
I never finish my
homework.

Thanks to you
my chores are never
completed.

My poor family
is neglected and
alone.


And then it goes off to being a 'Thank you' poem:
But you YWS
have made me
a new person.

I no longer watch
T.V or pig out on boredom food
I write.

I write poetry
and make new friends
though I don't even know who most of them are.

My life is
easier with you
here.

My life began to
grow and revolve around
you, YWS.


Love it! congrats on being featured! keep up the good work!

I don't like the way this runs. Maybe move "life" down to the third line?

Favorite line:

Everyday I visit you
hoping to be featured
but I never am.


Totally felt, dude. When you post something, you hope it becomes so phenomenal that it becomes known to the entire community you're posting it to.

I really liked your piece. (: Keep writing, please and thank you!

hey!
I love your poem. It's also my story in so many ways, my family is also deprived of my attention, I watch less and less T.V. everyday, I never did my homework before too, so that didn't change, I never complete chores on time, I've made tons of new friends and I am falling in love with YWS too.
It really gave me a platform to display my before neglected work, helped me in improving my writing skills and all in all it gave me a reason to write...
Thanks for sharing this amazing piece....

Hi!

This is wondeful, and it was me not too long ago, though I havent been on in a while.. :/ The errors have been pointed out. But I just wanted to say that you get a "like" from me! I had my first piece featured on here a few weeks ago.. and I haven't been a member as long as some people. I know how happy ot made me, so I'm hoping this will be featured so you can know the 'happy camper' state I was in. :)

God Bless,
Amber

Oh my gosh in loved this!!!!! I actually laughed out loud while reading it. This poem fits me (and probably a lot of other people) perfectly. Every time I open the internet this is the first place I come...I even asked my school advisor to unlock this site so I could go on during my study halls! I did not find any edits, so you just get praise from me! It was simply wonderful, and I hope it gets featured! You get a like from me!

-Jessa

P.S. I don't think this is bland either :]

:P I loved this! It was funny, and just about everyone here can relate. I haven't even been a member for a week and already I've neglected most of the things in your poem (-cough- my father was not happy about the chores...). But the point is, this was simply amazing. The small mistakes have already been pointed out, so I have nothing left to say.

...."Kind of" is not grammatically correct. (Neither is "kinda", but it can be excused as slang, in my opinion.)

And it's "you're busy" not "your busy".

And I totally agree with pretty much everything here.

And I don't think it's bland.

I like the point of the poem, but it is kind of bland. I only noticed one mistake however,

With friends

Kinda should be kind of.

Thats it! Any questions PM me!
