to all of you (Free verse) by Heather Dee
I write and I write but still no luck I’m starting to not give a fuck The words I have in my mind are generic, adolescent, but still I try. Constructive remarks quite unkind Sitting frustrated I let out a sigh. A sigh of relief

Up the ladder: wait for sleep
Down the ladder: queen of the valley

Consider yourself lucky if you get constructive remarks. Alot of people here just want to make fun of others.
Start with free-verse it's easier to pull off.
Read some of the masters.
Find those poems that speak to you and study them and there authors to death.
Use cheats like dictionaries, thesauruses and rhymezone.com.
Then decide you don't give a fuck what the assholes think and write on.

That's the idea. Don't give a fuck....

about the people who are just being an ass. If you're not going to give a fuck about writing, then why try. I wrote on one of your posts, what felt like a constructive bit...no idea if you even read it though..but seriously...actually work to get better...don't just post any old bit of shit that you write...it's what so many people here do and it's quite annoying.

The point, though, is that a few souls have brushed off the tacky shit, taken the constructive criticism and actually improved their writing...it's rare, but it happens. Take Cuddlytiger17....she's no Poe, but she's improved (and to be honest I don't even know if she still posts here, but it's just the first one that came to mind...so...).

I'm not gonna vote on this because it seems more like just a last ditch effort to get a point accross than a poem.

Here's the best advice I can give you though (and being 26, you probably already know it becaue that's the same age I am and I know it): Assholes are going to keep being assholes, no matter what you say or do...even on the Poemeranker.
