one of the dumbest things i've ever read. not even worthy of a vote really, but i'm going to in hopes it will lower your score even further. technically i shouldn't vote a 1 because at least you wrote something, but no, it sucks too bad to even be 'something'. congrats on being the holder of the 3 worst poems though!

personally, i only like the last line. but hey, way to go anyways.
Re: If I'd Never by PawnedTidal	1-Sep-02/9:24 PM
well written. personally, i think there are too many "if i'd nevers", but i just think that it kind of jumps from thought to thought. but very good job none the less. the last stanza is very strong, you ended on a very wonderful point.

wonderful poem. i think this is a point that definitetly needed to be brought to more peoples attention. not the fact of happenings, but the idea of the mask. my only suggestion: the very last line not rhyming really does throw off the reader since all others did so well. maybe consider "could have been spared." or anything of your own, whatever you see fit. however, whether you leave it or change it, it is a truly wonderful poem. two thumbs up.

0/10. first off, anyone who doesn't know to put a freeform poem in the freeform category, doesn't deserve a very high score. that took you down to a 5. then, out of sheer spite for your rude comments to me, you've been knocked down to a 2. and then, to be honest, it just flat out sucks, a 1 was more than fair. but i really don't care for the number 1, because 0 is so much nicer to look at. so enjoy!

i wish to appologise to you. having just read the nasty little note i left, i suddenly feel about 3 inches tall. i skimmed over a few other comments, and something stuck out to me. christof mentioned how your comments and your poetry don't exactly parellell each other, and i did not take that into full account when i vented. again, i am honestly sorry for saying your poem sucks, it doesn't, i just don't understand the idea of looking back on childhood, due to the fact that i have only recently come through it myself. i also am sorry for my low vote, and i would like to state for the record that my personal honest opinion of this would be a 7/10. i don't fully understand it's context, and i feel that for that reason you have not 100% succeeded at relaying your message to all potential readers. so, enjoy!
Re: Atlanta to Albany by powerline	1-Sep-02/10:14 PM
this is by far one of the greatest works i've read on here yet. unfortunately, having just read a suggestion you made about how people who don't write 'as well as others', should not be allowed to post as often or as much work as those who do, by which i presume you meant yourself, can post their works. i am both amazed and ashamed. i thouroughly enjoy your writing, and yet despise your idea and the pride behind it. it doesn't take a silver tongue and 8 years practice to come up with a good poem. it takes a simple cooperation between the brain and the heart. and my friend, even the slowest of 6 year-olds can accomplish that. i will judge your work fairly, but if given the i would not judge you the same. 8/10
Re: To Mother by lynnstratton	1-Sep-02/10:37 PM
i would recommend reading this to all i know. absolutely beautiful. very well versed as well. i appreciate works that people write in memory of family. your mother would be, and i'm sure she is, very proud of you. 10

ZERO! How stupid. You could have at least posted something that few people would recognize. You did not write this, therefore you should get no credit for it. The poem gets a 2 for being moderately amusing, but you get a zero for claiming it as yours. Unbelievable.

Again, another poem you did not write. How stupid can one person be?! Blatant plagiary, not just once, but twice!
Re: In Vein by nentwined	12-Sep-02/11:36 AM
i hate people that sit down with their thesaurus when writing. it's too easy to notice too, noone really speaks like this. i like your poem, but come on, stop trying to impress people and just write. 3
