Bill Dadaover 18 years agoThe ending is cutesy? I personaly think rules are made for one purpose and one alone...to be broken.
ty,bd
Linderellaalmost 19 years agoTalent obviously doesnt grow on trees or Impressive would have some.
LadyCibellealmost 19 years agoOh well....I seldom comment on poems because I don't consider myself a poet....BUT...I have to on this one.
Those people trashing your poem are particularly hurtful and unfair as I think it's a DAMN good one. One I wish I had written :)
Don't let anybody tell you otherwise Imp...it left me thinking of all those feelings unsaid and unfelt.
Kudos to you.
pishposhalmost 19 years agoI wish they had 0's cause that is what you deserve.
No talent at all, dear. Give it up.
puck444over 19 years agoshe shows very little "talent or imagination' she has many friends. That would explain it
Anonymousover 19 years agoI still do not understand why Imp's poems get so many comments while other excellent poems go completely ignored. While not deserving of the anon comments, the rest of the admiring masses, well it has me quite puzzled.
LadyJeanneover 19 years agoElegant. Wise. Inspired. Acceptance with barely a hint of longing.
she_is_my_addictionover 19 years agolove this. I used to be able to write things that made sense too. Now it comes out crap. It really is reality too.
sackover 19 years agoMouse, I would disagree that commenting about 1 stanza out of an entire poem =trashing. And you are right, the ending of a poem does need to leave one with a feeling, an ecstasy, an enlightenment, etc. This ending had me shaking my head...not ONLY because of the structure but because of the icky sticky sentiment that is all too common in women's poetry. Hate to sound so sexist, but it's true. Lauren Hyde is so spectacularly popular because she doesn't follow this cotton candy formula. Her poems are startling, dramatic, vivid, and yes, stereotypically "masculine." It's not about being cynical....it's about being tired of the Mary Poppins Cookie Cutter Cutesy-Tootsey approach to poetry that is so common on Lit. In any case, I'm doing Imp a big favor by calling attention to this poem. People will vote highly on it to defend her, and therefore she will get enough votes for an "H". You see, Doormouse, there is a method to my madness!
Sack (you're welcome, Imp)
