the flow is very solid; the content blase.
I don't think I really get what this is saying.
breath -> breathe; it's -> its
the rule to put a comma wherever you want a breath is simply wrong.
this is pretty cool. I was a bit worried by the gimmick early on, but... it flows nicely; definitely captures something and shares it. :)
agreed.
Poems about suicide either relieve the tendency or increase it. Some of them make suicide look ordinary and alright, an individual choice, and not unkind. Some folks may vote you down because you have said nothing about a rather permanent decision and all that it ignores. I am one of them.
Please tell me what the considerable theme is, because I'm at a loss.
That poet would see past the trivia, would occasionally notice the value, even comment on the worth, i.e.:
âI can't think of how to re-word it, though. Sorry I can't be more help; it's a cute little rhyme.â
âSome of this is really nice. The rhythm, though, is so almost-regular it really hits you where it's not. Other than that, good.â
ââTo so confuse the daffodilsâ would be better said âThat so confuses daffodils?â Otherwise, swell. 10â
âI think the clinical sound of 'goal' is great.â
âIt's a companion piece for richa's dandelion clocks, maybe - and heavier on the Darwinism, which is ace. âSeeds are the goalâ is the best description of flowers I've read in a long time.â
âI'm reversing myself. Clothes is fine, but you need an extra syllable or two: âThe best art only clothes the truthâ would do.â
I miss that poet.
Thank you. It touches my insides too, as if there's a place there that inspires the building of these magnificant churches even while I wonder at the meaning of it.
Thank you. It is a bit sad, unable to know the answers.
I REALLY ENJOY THIS POEM!!
hahaha... BURN!
this kicks major booty dude... more than stephen's fat ass
IT MEANS NON-SHINY you dumbass
Why follow a rhyme scheme, then desert it, then take up another half-arsed one in the last stanza? I can't see that it contributes anything to this poem; there seems to be no formal point to doing it. It jars.
It's not as empty-headed as the legions of comments saying "show don't tell". People just see other people writing "show don't tell", then think it sounds catchy and wise, then end up smearing it everywhere themselves. It's a disease.
in my point of view i like this poem ..the theme is considerable ..that's good
i love the poem ..it touchs inside my soul ..
sad and beautiful

I see your point, and it's well taken.
