What do you think of my poem?

Please ignore torimate; she’s a complete idiot.

It definitely has potential, but it doesn’t flow that well. It also seems to be vague for the sake of being vague. Rewrite and repost for more input.

I didn’t like it at all at first… but the more I read it… the more I like it…

it’s weird… but I actually like it a lot now…

It is… different, in a way, but it makes you think. I love analysing poems, and I love a mystery, which is what this is. I like new things, and this is modern, but.. old in a way. It contradicts itself. Which is why I love it. Nice job! Britz

Yeah its different thats for sure. But with some writing skills, the way it is played out doesnt always make sence but it does have a meaning. And I think any poetry with a true meaning is something worth reading even if I dont understand it.

Oh my gosh, thank you. I’ve never really been called a “creative genius” before. If you really liked it that much, here’s a link to a lot more of my work, tell me what you think, if you want. :) http://opheliasfever.deviantart.com/

Yeah, there are other literary websites I frequent, along with having a network of poets and prose writers alike.

Not to be rude, but I’m kinda embarrassed I even bothered bringing this here. (not directed at everyone.)

Well, thank you to everyone, except Torimate. I don’t mind if you think it’s a bad poem, but at least explain why.

To everyone else, later tonight I’ll give an explanation, but right now don’t feel like it.

well I love it- and usually I dont like poetry much. I am too tired to say why I like it now- but I will think about it and come back. Its the sort of poem I would like to read again and again so I might print it out later if thats ok?

Well, to conclude this train wreck, if anyone did like it, and would like to read more, or discuss poetry in general, funmail me, I love having new people to talk poetry with.

you put your poem on here asking people what they think about it… then when they tell you.. you tell them they’re wrong and it’s that way on purpose…

take some girl

O_o I thought it was pretty good! I liked the feel it gave, like soggy being soothing, it’s not something you hear every day. Very artistic and new! good job!

Well, your poem was rather naughty, because it kept me awake last night! I never write poems or even think about them. I have a pixie persona within me, and she often speaks her own language, I call it pixie speak. Well, pixie had me up for hours reciting pixie poems! It was amazing! but unfortunately I was unable to record or remember them. I will take a pen and paper to bed tonight, along with your nonsense-inpiring poem. Other than it being inspirational, and that you really are a creative genius, I still dont know what to say about your poem :-)

Er, not going to rewrite it. It’s definitely finished. I see what you’re saying, though, and I’m glad it’s that way.

Hm…I guess I should have stated this in the beginning, but it’s actually a performance piece, which is why it’s written all crazy. I was hoping people would take the way it’s written as a cue to how it should sound, and hear it in their heads. As for it being vague, YES! Usually when I write, it’s sort of like Monet–you’re left with a feeling, and that’s the important thing. Impressionistic poetry. Not sure if that exists yet, but it does in my work.

Not trying to be difficult, but this is definitely not being rewritten. I love it more every time I read it. :)

Anyway, the flow is choppy on purpose, it’s supposed to mimic choking and waves, as it’s about drowning. As for it being vague, that’s also on purpose. Almost all of my work is somewhat vague, it’s impressionistic.

Thank you very very much for all your comments, I hope to get more, you can tell me what you think it means, what you hate about it, love about it, anything.

That was very descriptive, it was different and unique. I liked it.

I read a lot of the resposes and aparently people just dont get poetry… it doesnt have to make sense. Thats the point. Its like our own little puzzle which we only hve the key to. It was well written. good job… I got it

it a wonderful script that makes you think about what ever the subject is on like say its about friends it makes you think about friendship

it’s cool

ok o offense or anything but I really dont like it but read some of the peoms I rote tell me what you tink bout it :)

Your poem was very cool

Aaah, I double posted and screwed up.

Anyway, I didn’t say anyone was wrong, I just said that’s how it was intended.

ah ha ha ha ooo it seems i have support. i just want you to know u have potential but this one needs the trash.

f*ck off dont b so mean if u can’t make helpfull observations DONT BOTHER ANSWERING whats ur problem?!?!?!

why is no1 being blunt? ITS SH*T.

well good bye :)
