 Cobster 2005-02-05 . chapter 1I have to say that this piece is not bad. Only a couple of criticisms:
First of all, you should try to cut down on your use of the word "well" when you're describing the situation. It gets stale fast. So do the quesitons, you know, "who do we answer to, well..." "who are they, well..." I see this format several times throughout the first few paragraphs, and it's a bit annoying.
Also, the third paragraph is too long. You should almost always start a new paragraph with a new speaker--many poeple would say "ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS"--but I tend to bend that rule myself and no one seems to mind.
Aside from that, plus a few trivial puntuation errors, that's all.
As for your review...well, that's a different matter. The poem "happy" was meant to be nothing but unhappy. It's IRONY, see--I'm baffled in trying to figure how you missed that. And again, you're preaching your point without any evidence. The point of the poem was to be cynical--which you're doing a very good job at, I might add. Myabe my poetry really got to you...
Anyway, did this poem really take you three minutes to read? I'm sorry. I don't think I'll be giving up writing anytime soon, since I'm a great deal better than your are at it, and you're still spouting your mouth off.
And one more thing: you're making stuff up again, too. This poem does not encourage suicide--no more than rock encourages demon worship. I'm starting to think that maybe you're TRYING to sound as stupid as possible... |
